Note
Only a user with a User Manager rolecan create a new user and/or change a user's password.
Only authorized users are able to view all users in the TWCloud system. There are individual users and user groups in TWCloud, which are classified as external/internal users and external/internal user groups. External users or user groups are imported from external LDAP servers. Internal users or user groups are created in TWCloud. You can learn more about internal and external users in the section user categories, and internal and external user groups in the section Managing user groups.

Add button
The Add button opens the Create User/Group pane, which allows you to create a new user/group. See Managing user groups for more information.
User group
A user groups group gathers multiple users and and gives the same role assignments to the users in the same group. When you create a user group and assign role assignments (including the scope), you assign them to all of the members in the user group. You can update information and delete a user group. You can also import a user group from an LDAP server as an external user group. All members of the user group will be imported to Teamwork Cloud (TWCloud) as external users as well. To update the information for an external user group in TWCloud, you must resynchronize it with that of the LDAP server.
The Search by username textbox (see the following figure) on the User application allows you to search for a user by username or keyword. You can type any alphabetic character, numeric value, or symbol (such as @, &, or #), or a combination of them in the search box. The search is not case-sensitive. By default, the search result will return all usernames that match the keyword or letter(s) entered and display them on the page.

Tip
Alternatively, you can use the multi-type search textbook on the uppermost part of every page that you open. By default, the search results will return all matching keywords or names entered. However, if you want to search for a particular user, you can select a type qualifier to restrict search results to usernames only
