Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

User IDs cannot contain lowercase letters. When filtering members by user ID, users might enter a lowercase value for the user ID filter assuming that the filtering will not be case sensitive.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should convert the user ID filter to uppercase since there cannot be lowercase characters in a user ID.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The workaround is to enter the filter in uppercase.
