find user by name or email on Azure DevOps Server 2022.1
I just realized we had new and old servers, so on old ones, how can I find a user ?
I keep getting the same error even if I provide the proper parameters
https://[serverurl]/_apis/identities?api-version=6.0&searchFactor=name&factorValue=[myname]
I get that message every time
Either descriptors, subject descriptors or social descriptors or identityIds or searchFactor/factorValue must be specified
Solution
According to the Identities - Read Identities REST API, the correct URI Parameters are filterValue and searchFilter, not searchFactor and factorValue.
The searchFilter values can be AccountName (domain\alias), DisplayName, MailAddress, General (display name, account name, or unique name), or LocalGroupName (only search Azure Devops groups).
To search a user by name,
GET https://[serverurl]/_apis/identities?searchFilter=General&filterValue=username&api-version=6.0
