Object Browser - User Browser

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

The User Browser allows you to access roles, users and groups. The users and groups can come from any registered user manager, such as Active Directory (the default with the K2 label), AD FS, LDAP, Azure AD, and any custom user managers.
