|inputlookup users.csv|fields user|eval user=lower(user)|join type=left user [datamodel("Identity_Management", "All_Identities")| drop_dm_object_name("All_Identities")|mvexpand identity|rename identity as user|eval user=lower(user)]|table user first last

the search was missing `` around drop_dm_object_name("All_Identities")

Corrected and run it but it does not populate first and last name.
