The Virtru Control Center allows admins the ability to manage their team and their team's secure content. On the Users page of the Control Center, admins can see which users have been licensed, find a list of admins, and see if a user has ever activated a Virtru plugin. The following search operators will show you how to perform a more advanced search for a specific user or set of users.
The table below documents the advanced search operators and accompanying examples.
| Operator | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Search for users with a specific email address. | Example: email:bob@example.com
Meaning: The user whose email matches “bob@example.com” exactly. Example: email:dan* Meaning: any user in the organization whose email begins with dan. |
|
| status | Search for users with a specific status. | Example: status:active, status:pending, or status:revoked
Meaning: Users who have a specific status. Note: Right now all users are considered to have an active status. This will be changed in a future update. |
| is:activated
has:activated |
Search for users who have activated on any platform other than Secure Reader or Control Center. This means that they are completely set up to send and receive secure email messages. | Example: email:bob@example.com AND is:activated or has:activated
Meaning: Users who have a specific activation status. Note: Right now all users are considered to have an active status. This will be changed in a future update. |
| is:admin | Search for users with administrative rights. | Example: is:admin
Meaning: Users who are admins. |
| AND | Search for users with multiple required criteria. Note that AND must be capitalized. | Example: email:s* AND has:activated
Meaning: users whose email addresses start with “s” and are fully activated. |
| OR | Search for users with multiple optional criteria. This is the default behavior for a search query if no boolean logic is specified. Note that OR must be capitalized. | Example: email:s* OR email:l*
Meaning: Users whose email addresses start with either “s” or “l”. |
| NOT | Search for users where certain criteria must not be true. The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. Note that NOT must be capitalized. | Example: NOT email:b*
Meaning: users whose email does not start with “b”. |
| “ ”(quotes) | Search for users with an exact phrase. | Example: email:“mike@example.com”
Meaning: users whose email address exactly matches “mike@example.com”. This search will omit results such as mikethompson@example.com or mikejefferson@email.com because they don’t match the query exactly. |
| *(asterisk) | The wildcard character looks for 0 or more characters in a term.
Note: You cannot use a * or ? symbol as the first character of a search. |
Example: email:b*Meaning: Users whose email addresses starts with the letter “b”.
Example: email:*@example.com Meaning: Wildcard cannot be used as the first character in a search. This results in an error. |
| ( )(parentheses) | Used to group clauses to form sub queries. This can be very useful if you want to control the boolean logic for a query. Used to group multiple clauses to a single field. | Example: email:a*@example.com AND (is:activated OR status:pending)
Meaning: Users whose email address starts with “a” and are either activated or have a pending status. |
