     * for seeing profile are really complicated.

     * If you have moodle/user:viewdetails at system level, you can search everyone.
     * Otherwise we check which courses you *do* have that permission and search everyone who is
     * enrolled on those courses.
     *
     * Normally you can only search the user's name. If you have the moodle/site:viewuseridentity
     * capability then we also let you search the fields which are listed as identity fields in
     * the 'showuseridentity' config option. For example, this might include the user's ID number
     * or email.

     * The $max parameter controls the maximum number of users returned. If users are restricted
     * from view for some reason, multiple runs of the main query might be made; the $querylimit
     * parameter allows this to be restricted. Both parameters can be zero to remove limits.
