User Account-Type Search Mode

The ability to limit searches of user accounts by account type to ALL, FULL, GUEST, or EXTERNAL is available in FileCloud version 19.1 and later.

As an administrator, for security reasons, you can restrict user searches so that your users can only search for user accounts that are assigned a specific level of access.

User Account Type	Level of Access
ALL	No restriction of account searches
FULL	An account with full access has its own private cloud storage space in the "My Files" area. These users can: store files in their own private cloud storage space view/download files stored in their storage space view/download files shared with them by other user accounts
GUEST	An account with guest access level has restricted access to the FileCloud system. These user accounts do not have private cloud storage. These users can: view/upload/download files shared to them by other user accounts re-share content if they have permission
EXTERNAL	An account that can only be used to access the User Portal through a Web browser. External Accounts can: view/upload/download content shared with them External Access accounts can only be local user accounts.
