Create an Active Link that executes on Search. The Run If statement can be: ($OPERATION$ = "QUERY" ) AND ('Login Name' = $NULL$) and the Permissions will be the Group you want this workflow to execute on. You can present an error message as the If Action telling the user they need to enter a value in the Login Name field before searching. An alternative to opening the User form with the Update button, is to create a display-only form and open that. The form will have the fields on it that you want the user to be able to see/modify. If they are going to be able to modify the fields then they will have to have permission on the User form to do so. Once you create the display-only form and add the fields you can then add 3 buttons to the form. One will search for the login name and return the data for the fields you added to the form if there is an exact match. This can be accomplished using an active link and a Set Fields action. Another button can be used to modify the record that is returned and a Push Fields action will update the User record. The third button closes the form without performing any save or modify actions. This is a good way to control the access the user has. Either option should work for you.
