Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, device and product for managing a plurality of users of an application system. According to example implementations of the present disclosure, a method is provided for managing a plurality of users of an application system. In the method, a group of users matching a search keyword from a requester user are determined among the plurality of users, the search keyword comprising at least one part of an identifier of a desired user. A requester layer of the requester user is determined in a tree structure comprising hierarchical relations among the plurality of users. A group of layers of the group of users are determined in the tree structure, respectively. The group of users are sorted based on the requester layer and the group of layers. With example implementations of the present disclosure, a user which the requester user is looking for may be sorted at a top place so as to be selected by the requester user. Furthermore, there is provided a corresponding device and computer program product.
