How to Load Group Members

To load group members, right-click on the report name and choose Customize Report from the context menu. Then, within the Report Wizard, navigate to the Membership page.

Group members Membership Settings

To activate the loading of membership for the selected report, check the Load Group Members checkbox.

Group Members select attributes settings

The available membership settings are:

Load direct members only

When this option is selected, only direct group members will be loaded, excluding any nested groups.

Load direct members including nested members

When this option is selected, both direct group members and nested group members will be loaded.

Include nested group names

This option is enabled when the Load direct members including nested members is selected. In addition to nested group members, the names of nested groups will also be loaded.

Include primary membership

If a selected group serves as the primary group for certain members, those members will be loaded for the selected group. For instance, in the properties of the test user within Active Directory Users and Computers, it is evident that "Domain Users" functions as the primary group for this user.

When selected, the option loads only the Distinguished Names of the group members.

Select Member Attributes

Enabling this option will activate the Group Members panel, allowing you to choose the desired columns/attributes to load for the members.

Please note that this option may result in slower performance compared to "Load Distinguished Names Only." It requires AD Reports to scan and load additional attributes for every group member in each group included in the current report.

Translate Foreign Security Principals to NT Account

This option improves the readability of names and converts them accordingly.

To
