Finding existing users

From Active Users, you can search for, sort, and filter the users to display those you need.

Sorting the results is accomplished by clicking the heading of the column you want to sort by. Clicking the heading will produce a chevron next to its title, with the direction indicating ascending (points up) or descending (points down). In our experience, it's not possible to have a primary and secondary sort. However, this could be accomplished with either Excel or PowerShell.

Filtering the user list can be done using the Views drop-down. Here's a list of all the default views:

• All users: The entire directory
• Licensed users: Users with at least one Office 365 product SKU
• Guest users: Users from outside your organization
• Sign-in allowed: Login is enabled
• Sign-in blocked: Login is disabled
• Unlicensed users: Users with no license
• Users with errors: These would typically be sync errors
• Billing admins: Users with security role for billing administrators
• Global admins: Users with security role for global administrators
• Password admins: Users with security role for password changes/resets
• Service admins: Users with a security role for one or more Office 365 services, such as Exchange or SharePoint
• User management admins: Users with a security role for adding, changing, or deleting users
• Add a custom view: Create your own custom criteria

As mentioned, the user search box allows you to find a user quickly based on all or part of their name, username, or email address. Note that it will find users only in the currently selected view.
