boxes under the Groups column.
Multiple users can

A convenient search
facility is located at the top of the User
Management page. Enter the characters to search against and press the Search button. A list of user names
containing these characters will be displayed. Searching can be done on a
specific group or on all groups (Figure 5.7). The search facility is case
insensitive, lower and upper case characters will be treated as the same.

supports a number of wildcards, which are:
% - matches zero or more characters.
_ - matches a single character.
