176 Chapter 3
Finding User and Group Accounts
In Workgroup Manager, user and group accounts are listed in tabs at the left side of the
Workgroup Manager window.
Workgroup Manager preferences affect the lists. Choose Preferences from the Workgroup
Manager menu to control whether system users and groups are listed and the order in which
items are listed.
To work with one or more of the accounts listed, select them. Data about the selected
accounts appears in tabs to the right of the list.
To populate the list, use the At menu to select the directory domain(s) you want to work
with. Initially, the local directory domain accounts are listed. The domains available for
selection include all directory domains configured for access by the server you are logged in
to. “Listing Users and Groups in the Local Directory Domain” on page 176 through
“Refreshing User and Group Lists” on page 177 tell you how to use the At menu.
Choose Show Status Bar from the View menu to display your authentication status related to
your current At menu selection.
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 178 and “Sorting User and Group Lists” on page 178 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 choose Local from the
At pop-up menu. The local domain might also be listed as /NetInfo/root/ or /
NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode.
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.
