I can only see a method, to get User object from UserId.

If you’re using the Users module from:

import { Users } from "@foundry/functions-api";

Then yes, there are only two methods to get it and they’re by Id.

I can think of a few alternatives:

  1. You can use Foundry API to create an object type with all the users (API Docs) and then search on it.

    {
  "data": [
    {
      "givenName": "John",
      "familyName": "Smith",
      "organization": "ri.multipass..organization.c30ee6ad-b5e4-4afe-a74f-fe4a289f2faa",
      "realm": "palantir-internal-realm",
      "attributes": {
        "multipass:givenName": [
          "John"
        ],
        "multipass:familyName": [
          "Smith"
        ],
        "multipass:email:primary": [
          "jsmith@example.com"
        ],
        "multipass:realm": [
          "eab0a251-ca1a-4a84-a482-200edfb8026f"
        ],
        "multipass:organization-rid": [
          "ri.multipass..organization.c30ee6ad-b5e4-4afe-a74f-fe4a289f2faa"
        ],
        "department": [
          "Finance"
        ],
        "jobTitle": [
          "Accountant"
        ]
      },
      "id": "f05f8da4-b84c-4fca-9c77-8af0b13d11de",
      "email": "jsmith@example.com",
      "username": "jsmith"
    }
  ],
  "nextPageToken": "v1.VGhlcmUgaXMgc28gbXVjaCBsZWZ0IHRvIGJ1aWxkIC0gcGFsYW50aXIuY29tL2NhcmVlcnMv"
}

  2. List all the users in a given group and search in Type Script

  3. Use MP attributes in workshop if this is related somehow to the current user.
