Description
Summary
The emails filter for GET /v1/organization/users returns an empty result even though the same user is returned by an unfiltered list request and can be retrieved by ID.
Environment
- Python SDK:
openai2.45.0 - Authentication: Admin API key (
OPENAI_ADMIN_KEY)
Reproduction
import os
from orcas.open_ai import OpenAIAdmin
target_email = "sasakiss0922@gmail.com"
os.environ.pop("OPENAI_ORG_ID", None)
os.environ.pop("OPENAI_PROJECT_ID", None)
admin = OpenAIAdmin.from_env()
# Returns 0 users
filtered_users = admin.users.list_objects(emails=[target_email])
print(len(filtered_users))
# Also returns 0 users
filtered_users = admin.users.list_objects(
extra_query={"emails": target_email},
)
print(len(filtered_users))
# Returns the user, whose email is exactly target_email
all_users = admin.users.list_objects()
print([(user.instance.id, user.instance.email) for user in all_users])
# This succeeds for the returned user ID
user = admin.users.retrieve(
user_id="user-6WhvcDWkfIPbC0ZMHcapGkf0",
)
print(user.instance.email)
Actual behavior
Both filtered requests return an empty list.
The unfiltered request returns:
user-6WhvcDWkfIPbC0ZMHcapGkf0
sasakiss0922@gmail.com
retrieve(user_id=...) also succeeds and returns the same email address.
The Python SDK serializes emails=[target_email] as:
/organization/users?emails[]=sasakiss0922%40gmail.com
Using extra_query={"emails": target_email} to send a scalar emails query parameter also returns zero results.
Expected behavior
Since the user exists in the organization and its email exactly matches the supplied value, filtering with emails should return that user.
Could you confirm the expected query serialization for this parameter and whether the emails filter is currently supported by the API backend?

Research direction
Start at OpenAIAdmin.users.list_objects, comparing the emails=[target_email] request with extra_query={"emails": target_email} and the unfiltered request. Trace how the emails parameter is serialized, then determine whether the API backend accepts either form; done means an existing matching user is returned by the filter or the unsupported behavior is documented.
