Get information about a specific Mattermost user

Retrieves detailed information about a user, such as their username, email, roles, and ID. Use the special string `"me"` as `user_id` to retrieve information about the currently authenticated user.

Usage

get_user(user_id = NULL, verbose = FALSE, auth = get_default_auth())

Arguments

user_id: A character string containing the Mattermost user ID, or `"me"` for the authenticated user.
verbose: (Logical) If `TRUE`, detailed information about the request and response will be printed. Default is `FALSE`.
auth: The authentication object created by [authenticate_mattermost()].

Value

A named list with user fields returned by the Mattermost API (e.g. `id`, `username`, `email`, `roles`).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  # Get info about a specific user by ID
  user <- get_user("xb123abc456...")

  # Get info about the current authenticated user
  myself <- get_user("me")
  print(myself$username)

  # Iterate over all known users
  users <- get_all_users()
  userinfo <- lapply(users, get_user)
} # }
