It would be VERY nice to have some kind of filtering or searching in the user management component. Even the ability to sort on columns would be helpful. I’m quickly getting into the 2-300 user area and sometimes when adding a new user (from Active Directory) it takes a while to find them in the user management component. Especially since our IT department doesn’t always hold to a standard naming convention. It’s a small thing but it would help to alleviate a lot of frustration.

What version of Ignition are you using? We’ve added a couple of extension functions to the component, including filterRole() and filterUser() that should help you out.
