Is there a way to search for a user by email address (probably same as user name)? I’m trying to look up a user to populate the Company Owner field when creating/updating companies.

Hello @johnpp2, currently we have a settings “user provisioning API”. You can visit this page to read about it: [More information here. (](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/settings/user-provisioning)This API can be used to manage the users on an account and manage the roles of those users.)

I hope this information helps.

Pam

@johnpp2, you can either use the [CRM search](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/search)

```lia-code-sample
{
 "filters": [
 {
 "propertyName": "email",
 "operator": "EQ",
 "value": "dogs@cats.com"
 }
 ]
 }

```

or you can use the older [V1 endpoint](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/get_contact_by_email)

The code you’ve provided is to create a new user. I don’t understand how it answers the question.
