Getting User Details by Searching via the User Name

Description

You will have 100+ users registered with WSO2 EMM. If you wish to retrieve the user details of a specific user, and you only remember part of the user's username, you are able to retrieve the user details by giving a character or a few characters in the username.

Resource Path /view-users

URL /mdm-admin/users/view-users?username={username}

HTTP Method GET

Request/Response Format application/json

cURL command

curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <EMM_API_TOKEN>" -k -v https://<EMM_HOST>:<EMM_HTTPS_PORT>/mdm-admin/users/view-users?username={username}

For more information on how to generate the <EMM_API_TOKEN>, see Generating the EMM API Token.
By default, <EMM_HOST> is localhost. However, if you are using a public IP, the respective IP address or domain needs to be specified.
By default, <EMM_HTTPS_PORT> has been set to 9443. However, if the port offset has been incremented by n, the default port value needs to be incremented by n.
Provide any user detail of the user as the value for {username} to retrieve the user details, such as email address, first name or last name.

Example:

curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 33392fb365b3ac693b405b565ddc8a3a" -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/users/view-users?username=i
