Use the Filter by menu to display the complete list of members or to sort the membership list according to role. Use the Sort by options to sort the display in order of Name, which lists members in alphabetical order, or Date Added, which lists the newest members first.

  • To find a specific community member, click Find a Member on the Members page and enter a name in the field provided. As you start typing, names from the community membership list are suggested to you. When you see the name that you want, you can click it. If your site uses the Profiles app, the person’s profile displays. If your site does not use the Profiles app, a list of the public communities to which the person belongs displays.
