You can also access the ~iass/.users.list using the Manage iass Account menu item (see Section : Managing the iass Account).

Searching for User Accounts

Several user management tasks (such as displaying or deleting user accounts or changing groups) require you to select the user accounts on which you want to operate. The Administration utility allows you to search for user accounts, using one or more of the following search criteria:

Name Pattern

Group

Mail Service

If you select more than one search criterion, the logical operator AND is applied to the criteria. Therefore, using more than one search criterion tends to refine the search. For example, the Display User Account form in Figure 5 (accessed from Manage Users menu) shows how to construct a query to find user accounts that contain the letter a in the name and use the Regular Delivery mail service.

Figure 5 Searching for User Accounts

When you click on Apply, the results of your search are displayed in the User Account Selection List frame (to the right of the User Account Selection Criteria frame). You can select individual accounts from the list box (press and hold the Control key and click MB1), or you can select all the accounts by clicking on Display All. In Figure 6, the administrator has selected three of the 15 accounts that match the query shown in Figure 5. The Administration utility will operate on these three accounts only.
