5.6 Configuring the People Search Module

You can configure Self Service Password Reset to allow users to search for their colleagues’ information and also configure the attributes the People Search module displays in the search result.

If you enable the People Search module and configure it, anyone can use the People Search option to search for people and view the details of the people. You can see details such as user name, email address, photo (if specified), and an organizational chart. The organizational chart displays the details of other users who report to the selected user (in a hierarchy) and also with the details of the user’s manager. The arrow displays the user’s level in the hierarchy.

Self Service Password Reset requires that the users who use People Search have read permission to view all the attributes that the People Search module displays. Self Service Password Reset uses wildcards or Ajax search (searching and displaying results while typing).

  1. Log in to Self Service Password Reset at https://dns-name/sspr as an administrator.

  2. In the toolbar, click your name.

  3. Click Configuration Editor.

  4. Click Modules > Authenticated > People Search.

  5. Configure the settings for the People Search module using the help.

  6. In the toolbar, click Save changes.
