Managing users in Groups in 10.3.9 Server

[ccarlson]

I’m using OS 10.3.9 Server and have a question about managing users in groups. I can’t figure out how to sort the users within a group listing. You would think that you could just click on the Name bar to sort by name (just like when you are managing just users not in a group) but nothing happens. It’s difficult to manage a large list of users within a group when you can’t sort them to quickly find if a user is in the group or not.

Thanks,

You can add the group name to the comments section and search that way. You could also import your users with a certain ID number and sort by that…. For example everyone in the 2006 group would have a user ID of 2000-3999 every one in the 2007 group would have a UID of 4000-7999. Of course this only works for one group.

In Tiger you can add keywords to your users so you can add the groups they are in as keywords and search via keywords. If this is what your looking for you should upgrade to Tiger server.

I’m sure you know this but you can go into the groups and see who is in that group.

yes, it is in that view, when you are looking at the members of a group where I want to sort the members but can’t find a way to do it. It is currently sorted by user ID and I want it sorted by name.
