The CMS includes two types of search:
A Search tab lets you search for content items in the CMS.
A Search prompt is displayed when you need to find users in the user database to assign them to various functions of the CMS.
The Search tab is displayed in the Content Center and in each instance of the CMS that is installed. You can search the CMS by query string, category, launch date, and content type.
When you need to assign a user to a function, you will use the Search prompt. Search is used throughout the CMS to find users and assign them to:
Permissions
Roles (either as a member of the role or as an administrator)
Groups
Tasks and task roles within workflows
Resetting a user's home folder
To search the user database, type the user's first name, last name, email address, or some combination of the three. Only users who have registered are displayed in the results. If you are not sure of the user's information, or to see all users who are registered, type % in the Search field. When the list is displayed, select the appropriate checkboxes for the users you want to add.
