Search for Identities that Match Specific Criteria

When you reference a large external user store, specify search criteria. The search criteria limit the returned global user account records to the one you require or to a relevant subset. For example, specify First Name LIKE John to retrieve the names of all users with the first name John.

Follow these steps:

1. Browse to CA EEM and log in.
2. Click Manage Identities.
3. Select Global Users in the Search Users pane.
4. Review the Attribute drop-down list and determine whether any listed attribute has a value for the user or users for whom you plan to search.
   • If yes, select one or more applicable attributes. For example, select First Name and Last Name.
   • If no, select the ellipsis (...) and enter the name of the attribute on which to search.
5. Select the operator for the expression and enter a value for the attribute that applies to the target user accounts. The value can be a partial value. For example, enter s* to search for all records where the value of the selected attribute begins with the letter "s".

   Important! Always enter criteria when searching to minimize the time it takes to retrieve entries from an external user store.

6. Click Go.

   The names of the global users who match your selection criteria appear in the Users pane. The names appear in "Last Name, First Name" format.
