Since filter is a URL parameter, whitespaces (space = %20) and quotes (" = %22) have to be URL encoded.

Example: only access code users, so no existing primary email and username

https://backend.staffbase.com/api/users?filter=(not%20(emails%20pr)%20and%20not%20(userName%20pr)%20and%20password%20pr)
