GET /api/v1/users/{id}
One user with privileges.
- Scope
users:read - ETag
- operationId
adminUser
The token needs the scope users:read, and the person or service account behind it needs the matching privileges and account permissions, exactly as on the screens. See Scopes.
ETag. The answer carries an ETag header. Keep it: changing this resource needs If-Match with that value.

Status codes and errors
Errors are application/problem+json (RFC 9457) with a stable code to program against; the detail says what to fix. See Errors.
| Status | When | Problem codes |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | Success | |
| 400 | The request is malformed | invalid_request |
| 401 | No token, or it is invalid or expired | invalid_token |
| 403 | The token lacks the scope, or the person or service account behind it lacks the privilege or account permission | insufficient_scope forbidden ip_not_allowed |
| 404 | Not found, or not visible to you (the API never confirms what you may not see) | not_found |
| 429 | Rate limited: wait for Retry-After seconds | rate_limited |
