Use the Filter element to fetch a list of objects of a specific entity. You can use a filter to perform the Read and
Delete operations. A filter contains a Criteria element that includes the following:
l fieldname – Specifies the name of the field present in XML that needs to be filtered.
l filterString – Specifies the string that is used to match the filter during a match of the filter.
l match – Specifies the operator to be used. For example, the match operator equals/matches the value of the
fieldname field in the Entity object using filterString.

to fetch Guest users that match the name kang:
