To find a user or users

The Users page appears.
2For a simple search, enter a search string in the Search users field and
press ENTER.
The system matches the string you enter against the beginning of the user
ID, first name, and last name. If you enter “sa” it displays users whose IDs
or first or last names begin with “sa.” To search for a string not at the
beginning of the field, you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. You can
restrict the search to local users by selecting the check box.
3For more search options, click the down arrow to the right.
Additional controls appear that let you search specific fields and use
specific filters.
4Select the filters you want, enter search strings for one or more fields, and
click Search.
The system displays the users matching your search criteria (up to 500).
To add a local user

User Dialog Box” on page 317.
4To assign the user additional roles (besides Conferencing User), click
Roles. Select the role or roles you want to assign and use the arrow
button to move them to the Selected Roles list.
5Click OK.
Note
The DMA system’s user database is unsorted. To avoid performance issues, if your
query matches more than 4000 users, no attempt is made to sort the results on the
server side before returning the first 500 matching records. The system simply
returns the first 500 found in the database.
In any case, there is no way to retrieve the next 500. To see all the users that match
your search criteria, narrow your criteria so that no more than 500 users match.
