How to List and Search Users with Search Queries

Using the Auth0 Dashboard or the Management API, you can retrieve a list of users and filter results by search criteria you specify.

List and search for users

Auth0 Dashboard
Management API

To view a list of users, go to Dashboard > User Management > Users.

The search field and drop-down menu at the top of the page lets you search by the following properties:

User
Email
Identity provider
Connection
Organization ID
Login count
Last login
Phone number

You can also choose Lucene Syntax (Advanced) to specify search criteria. The search query syntax reference includes more information on supported search features and example queries.

To list all users with the Management API, call the List or Search Users endpoint (GET /users). To search for users, specify search criteria with the q query parameter and a Lucene search query string.

The List or Search Users endpoint is not suitable for use in latency-sensitive or correctness-critical paths.This endpoint is eventually consistent and has a short query time limit. Learn more about user search alternatives, limits, and performance best practices.

For example, to search for a user whose name is exactly example:

Using the Auth0 CLI? If you haven’t already, set up and authenticate your CLI session before running this command.

Search queries time out (HTTP status code 503) if they don’t complete in two seconds or less. If your search query times out, it may be an expensive query or it may have an error that results in it not completing in time.The error 414 Request-URI Too Large means that your query string is larger than the supported length. In this case, refine your search.The search query syntax reference includes more information on supported search features and example queries.

Sort results

Auth0 Dashboard
Management API

In the Auth0 Dashboard, you can sort results by selecting the columns available in the table of users:

Name
User ID
Connection
Logins
Latest Login

Select the column title once to sort in ascending order and again to sort in descending order. To sort results by other fields, use the Management API.

To sort user search results, set the sort query parameter to the value field:order, where:

field is the name of the field to sort by
order is 1 for ascending or -1 for descending.

For example, to sort users in ascending order by their creation time, set the sort parameter to created_at:1:
