The users() GraphQL query returns a list of all of the users in the system. It requires root access.

For more information on user authorization, see the Manage users & permissions documentation page.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the users() query field:

graphql
users(
     orderBy: OrderByUserFieldInput 
     search: string
   ): [User!]!

For the input, there are two parameters, with the choices for one special datatype. They're described in the Given Datatypes section below. The return datatype, User is described in the Results Datatypes section. For now, look at this example:

Raw
graphql
query{
  users(
    orderBy: {userField: USERNAME, order: ASC}, 
    search: "company.com"
    )
    {username, email, displayName}
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query{
  users(
    orderBy: {userField: USERNAME, order: ASC}, 
    search: \"company.com\"
    )
    {username, email, displayName}
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \

    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query{
  users(
    orderBy: {userField: USERNAME, order: ASC}, 
    search: \"company.com\"
    )
    {username, email, displayName}
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql ^
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" ^
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
    -d @'{"query" : "query{ ^
  users( ^
    orderBy: {userField: USERNAME, order: ASC},  ^
    search: \"company.com\" ^
    ) ^
    {username, email, displayName} ^

Notice that the User return type from the syntax was replaced with specific field names — and notice the results are in ascending order by the user name.
