Create collection to find group members

I'm using 1.0 release 1 in Pro mode. We would like to create a collection that would list all the machines with certain users in the local administrators group. I opened an inventoried computer and saw it collects the local groups and users, but when I tried to create collection and add a filter, I couldn't find a filter that would filter the local groups/users. Is this possible? Thanks!

Since you are running in Pro Mode, you can create a Report to show the info you seek. We have plans to add the ability to use Local Group membership in collection criteria.
To illustrate: I created a report to show all the members of the Administrators group on the computer, Quagmire. I also filtered out local accounts from being displayed.
Here are the filters that I used to narrow the returned data:
Here is the returned data
We are hoping to have these same filters available for Collections in the next release.
Now is it possible to show only computers that don't match certain criteria? For example, all of our workstations should only have three users/groups in the local administrators group: Administrator, Domain Admins, and MIS. I'd like to generate a report that will show me all the workstations where the local administrators group differs from this. Thanks!
Yes, you can use the "does not match expression" filter type:
That'll give you every user in the Administrators group that isn't one of the three values.
