Allow admins to query user by exact username
Problem to solve
Based on documentation, admins only have the ability to get a user by id GET /users/:id
. It would be very useful to get users by other attributes.
Allow search by username
that only returns exact matches.

oremail
Goal(s):

functionality to search by email and/or username- Limitations
