The caller can specify whether to search locally (within the caller's company) or globally across companies that have enabled external communications.

To search for external users, the parameter local needs to be set as false and the service account has to be enabled externally. To do so, make sure at least one of the two following external entitlements are enabled, otherwise, the search will return zero results.
• Can chat in external IM/MIMs
• Can chat in private external rooms

By default, searches are performed externally. Set local=true to search locally.

Searching external users by email

The service account is allowed to search for users using their registered email even without having a previous connection with them.

OBO enabled endpoint

When calling this as an OBO-enabled endpoint, use the OBO User Authenticate token for sessionToken.

Xpod entitlements set

The callers need to have the xpod (cross-company) entitlements set, otherwise, the API will return a 204 error (no content).

🚧

Rules & Limitations

  • Please note that the endpoint returns only the first 1000 entries.
