- When looking for an individual user, you can type their username or attempt to search using the person's full name
- Choose the Check Names... button
- If only one object is found, you will remain in that box and can choose the OK button
- If more than one object is found, another window will pop up with a list from which you should choose the desired user/group. Then click OK twice.
