Is there a way to search or filter users in the console by other fields than the user id?

Thanks.

@oshribin Yep right now you can pass in the player’s username to that field entry and it will work. What other fields would you want to search on?

unfortunately, I left the username as the default value. The only values that I can recognise users by is custom-id, and display name.

@oshribin I see ok. can you open an issue for Nakama as a feature request and we’ll look to add the option to filter by display\_name or custom-id?

I will.  
meanwhile I have already deployed a version that set the username to a searchable value.

Thank you.
