Member types

Groups can contain different types of AD objects. Each type is visually distinguished in the grid:

• Users — the most common member type (person accounts)
• Groups — nested groups (groups that are members of this group)
• Computers — computer accounts
• Contacts — contact objects (external email addresses)

---

Searching and sorting

• Search — use the search box to filter members by any visible column.
• Sort — click any column header to sort by that column.
• Column visibility — right-click on a column header to show or hide columns.

Your column preferences are saved between sessions.

Viewing nested group members

If a group contains other groups as members, you can click on a nested group’s name to view its members. This lets you drill down into the full membership hierarchy.

---

Group owners

If the ShowAllGroupOwners setting is enabled (the default), the members view displays all group owners — both the primary managedBy value and any co-managers from msExchCoManagedByLink.
