Notes

  • Any nulls in the array passed to Selected Users are not displayed.
  • All user members are suggested when Group Filter is used, including users who are members of member groups and users who are members by rule.
  • The user viewing the picker must have access to view any users passed to the value. Only users that the viewing user has permissions to see appear in the suggestions list. When Group Filter is not null, the viewing user must have permission to view members of the filter group for any suggestions to be made.
  • The component always saves an array regardless of how many selections have been made.
  • Whether placeholder text clears on focus or input varies by device and browser. Placeholder text does not display on Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.

The following patterns include usage of the User Picker Component.

  • Add, Remove, and Move Group Members Browser (Hierarchical Data, Group Management): Display the membership tree for a given group and provide users with the ability to add, remove, and move user members from a single interface.
