Lists: overview

A list is a flexible grouping of users, computers or other items. The RM Management Console allows you to create different types of list. It also provides a selection of pre-defined lists which are used by different options. For example, the Users option provides access to the All Users list, and the Computers option provides access to the All Computers list. These lists provide an easy way to manage your users and computers from the left-hand pane of the RM Management Console.

The RM Management Console provides the following types of list:

List. A static list of items which you select or import.
Smart-list. This is a stored search, for example a list of users meeting specific criteria. When you access the smart-list, the search is regenerated to provide the latest data. For quick and easy access, you can save a smart-list as a favourite.
Linked list. A list linked to a security group. Unlike a smart-list, a linked list can contain different types of item, for example, users, computers and other security groups.

When you are the owner of a list, you can choose to make your list available to all other users in the network. A shared list has a slightly different icon to those shown above.

Any type of list can be stored in a folder.
