Please help me out here... I can't find a way to view all of the members who are assigned to a certain, specific role.

For example, I have a member assigned to moderate one of my network's groups, but I can't remember this person's name (it's been a while and we have a lot of members, so bear with me here). When I go to the "Manage Members" section of the management dashboard, it shows me the roles I have set up under the "Manage Roles" heading, but when I click on the role for this particular moderator, all it does is take me to a page for EDITING the role. Under "Role Members" on this page it tells me that "1 member is assigned to this role," and it shows me which group is included in this role under "Content Items," but it does not tell me who this moderator is! Nor are they shown anywhere on this page. Wouldn't it make sense to show us these members on this page? Can this be added?

If I go back to my Members Moderation section and click on "Role" it appears to sort the member list by role, but all it shows me are "Members" and then, on the last page, I see more members and then myself as the first member listed as "Network Creator." So this doesn't work to show me which members are assigned to any of my roles, either. And with 6,500+ members, I'm not about to go page-by-page throughout my entire member list looking for them.

So am I missing something here? Is there an easier way to go about seeing which members I have assigned to certain roles? If so, please let me know, because I can't figure it out.

Hi Kopper,

Try going to Members > Management, then clicking on the Administrators tab. It will show you all admins including those who have been assigned roles.

Thanks,
Phil 

Thanks, that works. I would have clicked on it before, but that tab says "Administrators (1)" so since that "(1)" was on there, I thought it would only show the one network admin (myself). That tab is misleading/confusing!

Hi Kopper,

I think the (1) is probably some bad caching on our part, but I'll check it out.

Thanks,
Phil 

It's probably only displaying "(1)" because I AM the only administrator! If it were to display a larger number (say, for the moderators as well as the admins) then it would still be misleading (since administrators aren't the same thing as moderators). I think there should be another column there for moderators, with that as the heading.

The (1) is just a caching issue on your network. The number is typically the total of the NC, any Admins and Moderators.

Can you export the list and then sort in a spreadsheet?  I was wondering about this although my network is just starting. 

Hey Shaun,

The export won't provide this level of detail. If you have a lot of moderators/administrators, the best way to identify them is as Phil noted above.
