When searching for objects in the Access Manager module, you can use the following logic operators:

1. Logic AND.
2. Logic OR.

Search rules are combined according to the following principle:

(Rule11 OR Rule12 OR ... OR Rule 1N) AND

(Rule21 OR Rule22 OR ...Rule 2M) AND

...

(Rule K1 OR Rule K2 OR ... OR Rule KL)

Where N, M, K, L are arbitrary integers.

In the Access Manager window, the search rules combined by the OR operator are displayed in one string. The search rules combined by the AND operator are displayed under each other.

To add a search rule, do the following:

1. Go to the user search (see Going to user search).
2. Click the Add rule button to add the AND rule or the or button to add the OR rule. 
   
   The Select condition for search window opens.
   
   
   1. The Additional group contains the criteria for filtering by additional user parameters.
   2. The Commonly used group contains the commonly used criteria for filtering by user parameters, and the Time in the region criterion that is used for searching the users by the time they were present or absent in the selected region.

   3. The Standard group contains the criteria for filtering by the standard user parameters.

      For the details on the user parameters description, see Specifying user parameters.

3. Select the search parameter by double-clicking its name.
   The search rule by selected field is added. Configuring the search rules differs depending on the type of the rule. The following types of search rules are available:
   1. Text field
      
      

      1. From the drop-down list (1), select the comparison method of a field value with the specified search line.

         Comparison method	Description
         Equals	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field is fully coincides with the specified search line
         Contains	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field contains the specified search line
         Starts with	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field starts with the specified search line
         Ends with	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field ends with the specified search line

      2. Set the Check case checkbox if you want the search to be case-sensitive.

      3. Set the Invert checkbox if you want to apply the negation of the specified search rule. if you set this checkbox, all users who don't meet the specified search condition will be found.

      4. Enter the search line in the field (2). 

   2. Access level.
      
      

      1. Set the Invert checkbox if it's required to apply the negation of the specified search rule.

      2. Select value for search from the drop-down list (1) or click the button. Working with the search window is described in Working with the Search access level window.

   3. Temporary AL.
      
      1. Select the search criteria from the drop-down list (1):
         1. Activation date—the start date of the temporary access level.
         2. Active on this day—the date between the start and end of the temporary access level.
         3. Active over interval—the interval that falls entirely between the start and end of the temporary access level. If the interval includes a day when the temporary access level isn't valid, the search will have no results.
         4. Active in this interval—the interval that falls at least partially between the start and end of the temporary access level.
      2. Select the search criteria from the drop-down list (2). You can also click the  button to search for the required temporary access level. Working with the search window is described in Working with the Search access level window.
      3. Use the calendar to set the search date (3).
      4. If you select Active in this interval or Active over interval, set the end of the interval for the search (4).

         Comparison method	Description
         Equals	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field is fully coincides with the specified date
         Not equals	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field is not coincide with the specified date

         In range	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field is in the specified range of dates
         Out of range	Search for all users for who the value of the selected field is out of the specified range of dates

         
         

      2. Set the date for search using the calendar (2). If you use the last two comparison methods from the table, the selected value sets the start of search interval.
      3. If you use the last two comparison methods from the table, specify the end of search interval (3).
   7. Access point:
      
      
      1. Set the Invert checkbox if it's required to apply the negation of the specified search rule.
      2. Set the Ignore 'Always' checkbox to select users whose access level differs from Always.
