Searching User

This section provides information on how to search a user.

The Search Member screen from the Roles & Member Sources screen provides a way to search the users with the associated roles. It also provides additional details like user added time, role and member source to which it belongs to.

For example, if you want to check the role of a user with its member source, then the search results can provide you a way to troubleshoot or check the user-role mapping.

To search a member:

  1. On the ESA Web UI, navigate to Policy Management > Roles & Member Source > Search Member.

  2. Enter the search criteria in the Member Name textbox.

    For more on valid search criteria, refer to Search Criteria.
