Search Guidelines for the Users List

To return a more specific set of users when you filter the list, you can modify the form of your search term for text fields, as shown in this table.

To access the users list, your system role must have unrestricted access to the User Manager and Users features in System Roles (Manage Features > User Manager Features).

To open the Users page in the LMS, go to Manage Center > Users > Users.
