columnsToSearch

The columnsToSearch body parameter is used to return accounts meeting one or more conditions. Each condition specifies a property with a specific value to search and there can be more than one condition. For example, to return a list of accounts with belonging to the “DevDomain1” domain that are currently locked out, the value for columnsToSearch would be set to that shown below.

"%[[][[]%<Conditions><Condition PropertyName=\"NetBiosName\" SearchValue=\"Docs-tracking\" Operator=\"EqualTo\" QuerySuffix=\" AND \" StartGroupString=\"\" EndGroupString=\"\" Index=\"0\" SearchType=\"String\"/><Condition PropertyName=\"LockedOut\" SearchValue=\"true\" Operator=\"EqualTo\" QuerySuffix=\"\" StartGroupString=\"\" EndGroupString=\"\" Index=\"1\" SearchType=\"Boolean\"/></Conditions>"

Remarks

In the above example, columnsToSearch contains two search conditions. The API returns accounts matching both conditions. Each condition includes the PropertyName to search, the SearchValue to search for, an Equality Operator, a QuerySuffix and a SearchType for the relevant data type.

Search Examples

The below examples demonstrate how to use IncludedProperties, parameters, and conditions in columnsToSearch to query the API for a list of accounts matching the search conditions. Attributes returned for each record are set by the properties specified in IncludedProperties.

    }
}

3️⃣ Use columnsToSearch to return all locked out accounts. Note the PropertyName for the search condition is set to LockedOut, SearchValue is set to True, the Operator is set to EqualTo and the SearchType is Boolean.

SearchTerms

Each identity object in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse has a SearchTerms property with a specific set of search values that can used to return all objects matching those values. For accounts, SearchTerms encompass the Name, FriendlyName, Email, FirstName, LastName, LogonName, and UserPrincipalName properties. When used, the API returns all accounts where the specified search value finds a match in any of those properties. For example, if the search value is set to “Rogers”, the API would return all the following accounts

Any account with a match in the name
Any account with a match in the friendly name
Any account with a match in the first name
Any account with a match in the last name
Any account with a match in the logon name
Any account with a match in the email address
Any account with a match in the User Principal Name

The following examples illustrate how to use SearchTerms to return a subset of accounts:

1️⃣ Use SearchTerms to return the Account ID, friendly name, first name, last name, Logon name, EmpowerID Logon, NetBiosName, email address and account manager friendly name for all accounts where the search value is set to "rogers"

{    
    "IncludedProperties": [
        "AccountID",
        "FriendlyName",
        "FirstName",
        "LastName",

        "EmpowerIDLogon",
        "NetBiosName",
        "Email",
       "AccountManagerFriendlyName"       
    ],
     "Parameters": {
        "AccountTypeID": null,
        "AccountUsageTypeID": null,
        "Disabled": null,
        "HideInEmpowerID": null,
        "IsOrphan": null,
        "LockedOut": null,
        "NeverLoggedInOnly": null,        
        "OrgZoneID": null,
        "SecurityBoundaryID": null,
        "SecurityBoundaryTypeID": null,
        "ShowSystemAccountsOnly": null,
        "ShowSystemBuiltInAccountsOnly": null,
        "accountStoreID": null,        
        "textToSearch":"AdvancedSearch",
        "pageLength": 5,
        "resourceTags": null,
        "start": 0,
        "totalCount": null,
        "columnsToSearch":"%[[][[]%<Conditions><Condition PropertyName=\"SearchTerms\" SearchValue=\"rogers\" Operator=\"EqualTo\" 
                          QuerySuffix=\"\" StartGroupString=\"\" EndGroupString=\"\" Index=\"0\" SearchType=\"String\"/></Conditions>"
    }
}

The response includes all people matching the search value. Note the properties where the match occurs.
