How to use Search for Users

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by TonyB

I am trying to apply a change to managers in my azure AD using flow.
I am trying to use the Search for Users to find anyone with an email ending in a certain domain. Since we have a few and this would filter the people I need to update with the assign manager part.

But if I search on the domain, I get zero results. Can this part be used like this? Or do I have to know the email before hand?

I tried leaving the field blank and this returns all users. But it seems to only go to 100 users and then fails.

Hi @TonyB ,

As far as I know, the domain of the users in the same tenant should be the same, it seems that it cannot be used as a filter.

But if you want to filter the output of search for user, please try the following methods:

Note the case of the domain here.

Best Regards,

Unfortunately this throws the following error.

InvalidTemplate. The execution of template action 'Filter_array' failed: The evaluation of 'query' action 'where' expression '@contains(item()?['Mail'], 'thedataschool')' failed: 'The template language function 'contains' expects its first argument 'collection' to be a dictionary (object), an array or a string. The provided value is of type 'Null'.'.
