Locating Users (Resources), Groups, or Roles

When you need to update or delete users, groups or roles from your system, you must first perform a query (search) to locate the entries. The list of entries that result from the query is called a view.

The sections that follow describe the overall steps for performing a query whether you are looking for a user or some other type of resource (group or role). You will use this method to locate entries when you are updating entries individually.

Do not use this procedure to change entries through the Mass Assignment feature. Locating entries to update is part of the mass assignment process.

See Mass Assigning Attributes to Users.

Do not use this procedure for updating structures.

See Creating a Simple Structure for information on updating structures.
