After you choose directory domains, all the accounts residing in those domains are listed.
You can sort the list by clicking a column heading. You can filter the list to find specific users
or groups by using the filter options above the list. See “Finding Specific Users and Groups in
a List” on page 175 and “Sorting User and Group Lists” on page 175 for details.

Listing Users and Groups in the Local Directory Domain

The local directory domain is a server-resident domain that is visible only when you are
logged in to the server where it resides.

To list accounts in the local domain of the server you are working with:

1

In Workgroup Manager, log in to the server hosting the domain, then select Local in the At
pop-up menu.

2

User accounts residing in the local domain are listed in the user tab, and local group
accounts are listed in the group tab. To work with a particular account, select it. To change
the account, which requires that you have server or domain administrator privileges, click
the lock to authenticate.

Listing Users and Groups in Search Path Directory Domains

The search path directory domains are those in the search policy defined for the Mac OS X
Server you are logged in to.

To list accounts in search path domains of the server you are working with:

1

In Workgroup Manager, log in to a server whose search policy contains the directory domains
of interest.

2

Select Search Path in the At pop-up menu.

User accounts residing in all directory domains in the search path are listed in the user tab,
and group accounts are listed in the group tab.

3

To work with a particular account, select it. To change the account, which requires that you
have server or domain administrator privileges, click the lock to authenticate.

Listing Users and Groups in Available Directory Domains

You can list user and group accounts residing in any specific directory domain accessible
from the server you are logged in to using Workgroup Manager. You select the domain from a
list of all the directory domains configured to be visible from the server you are using.

Note that “available” directory domains are not the same as directory domains in a search
policy. A search policy consists of the directory domains a server searches routinely when it
needs to retrieve, for example, a user’s account. But the same server might be configured to
access directory domains that have not been added to its search policy.
