The User Search Window

This page tells you how to use the 'User Search' window, which appears when you are setting page restrictions or assigning space permissions.

Search syntax

The search is not case-sensitive. You can enter either upper- or lower-case text.
You can use an asterisk '*' as a wild card when entering user details. The search will allow one or more characters to match the asterisk.
For example:

Enter jon* to retrieve all the following: 'Jon Bloggs', 'Jon Smith' and 'Jonathan Jones', etc
Enter *bloggs to retrieve all the following: 'James Jon Bloggs', 'Joe Bloggs', 'Jon Bloggs' and 'Richard Bloggs', etc
Enter *jon* to retrieve all the following: 'James Jon Bloggs', 'Jon Bloggs', 'Jon Smith' and 'Jonathan Jones', etc
