Searching for the users
About this task
Remote Control allows searching through all the available users that matches the chosen user
filter.
Note: It should be noted that when Microsoft Entra ID
has been enabled, new users and new user groups should be created in Microsoft
Entra ID and not in Remote Control. This is because each time the synchronization with Microsoft Entra ID takes
place the users and user groups are deleted from the Remote Control database and then imported again from Microsoft Entra ID.
To filter users, configure the following parameter:
- entraID.userFilter
- Defines the Microsoft Entra ID filter that is used to import users to
Remote Control. The defined query needs to filter the results such that
only those users which match the search criteria are imported to Remote
Control. The default value is empty.Note: When using the above parameter, note that some environments can have thousands of users therefore it is important to create a filter which will only import the required users. To limit the users that are imported to only those users who match the search criteria and are members of the groups that were imported into Remote Control through the entraID.groupFilter filter, you should set the property entraID.userInGroup to true. It should also be noted that as well as being imported into the relevant groups that are returned in the group search, users are also imported into the DefaultGroup. Setting entraID.userInGroup to false will import all users who match the search criteria, regardless of their group membership. The search can therefore be further refined by using more complex queries. For more information, refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/filter-query-parameter.
