This article describes how to search for users using custom search criteria in Okta Workflows.

• Okta Workflows

The Okta – List Users with Search card has a Custom Search Criteria field. The Operators section lists the operators that can be used.

The Custom Search Criteria field uses the List all Users API search parameter. There is also a filter parameter, and the Okta – List Users with Filter card uses it.

• For best performance, it is recommended to use this parameter for search.

The API documents' search parameter lists properties that can be used in the search.

This operation searches many properties:

• Any user profile property, including custom-defined properties.
• The top-level properties id, status, created, activated, statusChanged, and lastUpdated.
• The User Type accessed as type.id.

Examples
