Read User by ID

   

GET {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}}?expand=population

To get data for a single user resource, the GET {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}} operation returns data only for the user resource with the ID specified in the request URL.

You must have the Identity Data Admin role to read group membership. For more information about groups, refer to Groups.

If the user authenticates with an authoritative identity provider (the identity provider has a registration.population.id value set), their password state will not be returned with a self-service request.
