# Admin Search Accounts

`GET /api/price-compare/admin/search-accounts`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://data.getplace.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://data.getplace.io/api/price-compare/admin/search-accounts`
- Auth: OAuth 2
  - Password
  - Token URL: `/api/auth/login`

Accounts to copy a benchmark into, matched on e-mail.

The limit is a guard against a one-letter query, not a feature of ordinary
use: 83 accounts can sign in at all, "dodopizza" matches 16 and "pizza" 21,
so a page of 50 shows a real search whole. It exists because this reads
another company's production users table and a stray keystroke should not
pull all of it — and because eighty rows is a second list, not a picker. Only accounts that can
actually SIGN IN come back — offering a blocked one would walk the operator
into a refusal — and that condition lives in the WHERE clause, not in a pass
over the results afterwards: filtering after the LIMIT returned the first
twenty matches and then threw most of them away, so a search for a company
domain showed four of its people and hid the rest.

Each row carries the account's grants, which is the point of the picker
rather than a decoration: it answers "will the copy show any data" while the
operator is still choosing, instead of after.
