How to get username on the basis of customField1?

Hi,

Below is the code I used to create such a rule.

This rule uses one input "customField1" (Text) and a constant containing a group with all users. You can use this rule to pass in the customField1 value you are searching for to return an array of users.

with(
local!userDictionary: a!forEach(
items: getdistinctusers(
cons!AllUsers
),
expression: {
user: fv!item,
customField1: user(
fv!item,
"customField1"
)
}
),
index(
local!userDictionary,
"user",
wherecontains(
ri!customField1,
touniformstring(
local!userDictionary.customField1
)
),
null
)
)

I hope this is useful.

I realized there is also a plug-in titled "Get Users By" which contains a function fn!getusersby which allows you to search for users by specific fields in a user profile that will accomplish what you're looking for with far less code. I would recommend using this plug-in if you are able to install plug-ins.

Here is a snippet of the code that would be required to retrieve users with a customField1 value of "Test" using this plug-in:

fn!getusersby(
recordValue: "Test",
recordType: 6,
operator: "1"
)

Hey Brad,

Thank you so much. Your rule worked perfectly for me.
