Description

The REST Resource supporting User and Group search is not efficient for large numbers of users and groups.

The current implementation reads all users and all groups from the configured User Group Provider and also populates Entity objects with additional membership information prior to filtering the results. This can lead to poor runtime performance when the configured User Group Provider returns large numbers of results.

Moving the filtering to a level lower than the REST Tenants Resource will enable filtering prior to Entity object population, improving the performance of search operations.
