Using Site Users Web Parts

Use this Web Part to display lists of employees in a team, department, or company. You can also use it to show lists of Domain Groups. This Web Part appears by default whenever you create a Document Workspace.

Tip

See Chapter 9 for more information.

When a list of users or groups is placed on a Web Part page, you can access information about particular users or use the list to contact them. To find detailed information about the user, click the user's name. Depending on what information was entered when the list was created, you can find the user's address, department, email address, phone number, and more.

Click the Smart Tag by the user's name to access available contact information and either email the user, add him to your address book, schedule a meeting, make a phone call, or send an instant message.

There are three properties specific to this Web Part:
