Chapter 4 Authentication : Users and user groups : Users : Monitoring users : Filtering the list of users
  
Filtering the list of users
When there are many users logged on, it can be difficult to locate a specific user or multiple users to analyze. Applying filters to the list allows you to organize the user list to meet your needs, or only display some the users that meet your current requirements.
Select Column Settings at the bottom of the screen to adjust columns that are displayed for users, including what order they are displayed in. This can be very helpful in locating information you are looking for.
The username column includes a green arrow to the right of the title. Select this arrow to sort the list of users by ordering them in ascending (down arrow) or descending order. This is the only column that allows this.
Each column heading has a grey filter icon. Click on the filter icon to configure a filter for the data displayed in that column. Each column has similar options including a field to enter the filtering information, a check box to select the negative of the text in the field, and the options to add more fields, apply the filter, clear all filters, or cancel without saving. To enter multiple terms in the field, separate each of them with a comma. To filter entries that contain a specific prefix, use an * (asterisk).
For example, to create a filter to display only users with an IP address of 10.11.101.x who authenticated using one of security policies five through eight, and who belong to the user group Accounting.
1. Go to User & Device > Monitor > Firewall.
2. Select the filter icon beside IP address.
3. Enter 10.11.101.0. and select Apply.
4. Select the filter icon beside Policy ID.
5. Enter 5-8 and select Apply.
6. Select Add new filter.
7. Select the filter icon beside User Group.
8. Enter Accounting and select Apply.
