You can also sort the lists or search for machines that match certain criteria (see Searching Machines).
You can always return to the Main page by clicking on [Main] at the top of any page in the system.
Selecting a User or Group
At the top of the page is a line that begins "Registered machines for:" If you have access to view or administrate machine registrations for another user, this line will be followed by a drop-down list of the groups or users that you have access to adminstrate.
To view the machines for a user or group, select the user ID or group name from the drop-down list, then click on the Refresh button.

Signing Off
When you login to the Network Registration System, a "cookie" is used to identify you to the server for a period of time. If you are using a computer that is used by others (such as a machine in a computing cluster) logging off will not destroy the cookie, and so another user may be able to view and edit your registration information for a short period of time after you have logged off.
To avoid the potential for this problem, click on the [Signoff] link to destroy the cookie on the computer you are using.
