When managing workspace users, the default search option is to search for users only. To enable searching for groups as well, you must first configure a number of properties. When search for groups is enabled, the user must first specify whether to search for users or for groups.

When the search for groups option is enabled, this affects both User Management in Workspace Settings as well as Member List modules.
