Hello,

I am using Okta User API to filter a user by the profile.login attribute. I am trying to retrieve a user account where the account's login email contains a plus sign.

This call would find no user: /api/v1/users/?search=profile.login eq "user+1@domain.com"

This call can find user successfully: /api/v1/users/?search=profile.login eq "user@domain.com"

I have verified that both users are present in my organization with the correct login email; all other headers and call format are identical between two calls; my token has sufficient rights. Only difference is the email string.

I am aware that I can just directly retrieve a user by simply passing in the email in the URL as {id} , rather than pass it in as a parameter in search, as listed in https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/openapi/okta-management/management/tag/User/*tag/User/operation/getUser. In fact I can retrieve both users in this manner without issues.

However I have other search parameters as well. I am aware I can retrieve the user first and filter on my end, but I am wondering if this can be accomplished in a single Okta API call.

Thank you for the help in advance!
