Description
Gets the user by full name.
The cloud version gets the user by the display name. It searches all the users starting with the query provided in their display name or email and returns the first user found. Because the user returned by Atlassian has the name field empty and the displayName field filled with the full name, we cannot filter the users returned only by the displayName.
