8 parameters
filter_termstringoptional
Limits the results to only users who's `name` or `login` start with the search term. For externally managed users, the search term needs to completely match the in order to find the user, and it will only return one user at a time.
user_typestringoptional
Limits the results to the kind of user specified. * `all` returns every kind of user for whom the `login` or `name` partially matches the `filter_term`. It will only return an external user if the login matches the `filter_term` completely, and in that case it will only return that user. * `managed` returns all managed and app users for whom the `login` or `name` partially matches the `filter_term`. * `external` returns all external users for whom the `login` matches the `filter_term` exactly.

external_app_user_idstringoptional
Limits the results to app users with the given `external_app_user_id` value. When creating an app user, an `external_app_user_id` value can be set. This value can then be used in this endpoint to find any users that match that `external_app_user_id` value.
fieldsarray<string>optional
A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response. Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.
offsetintegeroptional
The offset of the item at which to begin the response. Queries with offset parameter value exceeding 10000 will be rejected with a 400 response.
Default:0
limitintegeroptional
The maximum number of items to return per page.
usemarkerbooleanoptional
Specifies whether to use marker-based pagination instead of offset-based pagination. Only one pagination method can be used at a time. By setting this value to true, the API will return a `marker` field that can be passed as a parameter to this endpoint to get the next page of the response.
markerstringoptional
Defines the position marker at which to begin returning results. This is used when paginating using marker-based pagination. This requires `usemarker` to be set to `true`.

The marker for the start of the previous page of results.

offsetintegeroptional
The 0-based offset of the first entry in this set. This will be the same as the `offset` query parameter. This field is only returned for calls that use offset-based pagination. For marker-based paginated APIs, this field will be omitted.
