Unable to Get-AzApiManagementUser

Question

When the email prefix contains a '+', no result will return:

$apimUser = Get-AzApiManagementUser -Context $apimContext -Email $emailAddress

When I try to get the same user with last name + first name, the result returns successfully:

$apimUser = Get-AzApiManagementUser -Context $apimContext -LastName -FirstName

Why I failed to Get-AzApiManagementUser with the email address contains '+'?

Yuki Kang Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. I tried this in my APIM instance and found that Get-AzApiManagementUser (with -Debug) makes User - List By Service Rest API call by passing the parameters in filter attribute such as $filter=email eq '******@contoso.com'. However, I suspect this is not encoded correctly in CLI whereas it works correctly when tested directly in User - List By Service Rest API call.

So, I encoded the value like $encodedEmail=[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode("******@contoso.com") and called Get-AzApiManagementUser -Context $apimContext -Email $encodedEmail and it provided the results.

I opened an issue #22050 in GitHub for the product team to review further. I suggest you tracking the item on the issue. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions.
