User & Role Management: Filters and search

Find users by role or name

  • Role filter: Buttons for All and native WordPress roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, Subscriber). If custom roles exist, a "More roles…" dropdown (or similar) lists them. Click a role to show only users with that role. The list and data reload for the selected role.

  • Search: A search field (often debounced, e.g. 300 ms) filters the current list by name, username, email, or role. Typing narrows the visible rows without a new server request (client-side filter on loaded data). So you quickly find a user when you have many rows.

  • Clear filters: A Clear (or "Clear all") button resets role to All and clears the search so you see the full list again.

Find users by role or by name/email without opening each profile.

In practice

User & Role Management — role filter, search by name/email/role, clear. On this page, Find users by role or name is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. Because find users by role or name is part of User & Role Manager — a redesigned users grid, role management, application passwords, and inline role changes — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
