Find Users

Search Okta users using a query.

The query performs a startsWith match against a user's first name, last name, or email address. It displays the first record that matches or the first 200 matching records.

If you pass nothing into the card, it returns a random user because of the startsWith wildcard matching.

See Find Users in the Okta API documentation.
