A Powerful Customizable People Picker for SharePoint

Overview

Finding and selecting the right object using the out-of-the-box SharePoint People Picker can be difficult, confusing and time consuming. This increases costs and end user frustration. To make matters worse, security can be compromized if the wrong user or group is selected with the People Picker.

As an end user have you:

struggled to find the right user identity because you didn't know the exact user id?
spent hours guessing and trying multiple searches?
struggled to figure out if you have selected the "right" Mike Smith?
wished you could focus a search on a given domain/forest or LDAP directory?
wanted to see other attributes on the object returned in the search, other than what the default People Picker displays?
wanted to see the results in an easy to view grid format that is paged and sorted?
wished you could do wildcard searches?

As an administrator have you wanted a way:

to enforce that end users utilize an RBAC and use groups to assign permissions?
to pre-configure search templates to make it easier for your end users to find objects?
to provide a way to filter results based on a users group/role, so one set of users cannot view or select another set?
to customize the look and feel via style sheets?

The Optimal People Picker allows you to do all of these and much more.

The Optimal People Picker will increase security, enable faster and more accurate searches, while greatly saving time and reducing the total cost of administration.
