You can use the following search modifiers to search for users matching certain criteria:

|                             |                                                                                                                                              |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **api\_quota\_group**       | Display only the users that are consuming premium API quota licensed by the organization.<br/>Example: *api\_quota\_group:your\_group\_name* |
| **email**                   | Filter users based on their email address.<br/>Example: *email:<foo@bar.com>*                                                                |
| **first\_name**             | Filter users based on their first name. This is a fulltext search, you need to provide an entire word.<br/>Example: *first\_name:john*       |

| **Free text, no modifiers** | Search through any of the fields above.                                                                                                      |
