Search scopes


In many of the interfaces of the FIM Portal there is an option to do searches.

If we go to Users, for example, we can search within All Users, and the result will be All Users and some of the properties of the users in columns.

This is an example of a search scope. The name of the search scope is All Users. Let's take a look at this search scope.

Click on the Search Scope link in the Administration section of the FIM Portal, and search for All Users to find this particular search scope.
