We recently addressed issues that resulted in the search feature not working as expected in Users and Groups in the Admin Console. We would like to take the opportunity to further explain these issues and the steps we have taken to keep them from happening in the future.
From December 8, 2021 at 3:36 PM PT until December 9, 2021 at 12:25 PM PT, some users may have experienced difficulties while attempting to use the search feature in the Users and Groups pages in the Admin Console. This issue was caused by an update not working as anticipated. We were able to resolve the issue by reverting to the previous release until we were able to identify and remedy the issue in the update.
