Retrieve Extended User Information
/mobile/platform/extended/users/{username}
Deprecated. Use Retrieve My Profile (GET /mobile/platform/users/me
) instead.
Retrieves information about the current authorized user, including the user's roles.
- When the user is a mobile user, this operation retrieves the user name, first name, last name, roles, and email address.
- When the user is a virtual user, this operation retrieves the user name and roles.
- When the user is a social user (that is, signed in using social identity), this operation retrieves the user's ID, and identity provider.
If you don't know the user name, then use ~
for the username
path parameter to indicate the current user.
For security reasons, you can call this operation only from custom API implementations by using the custom code SDK. You can't make direct requests from client applications. This API is included in this reference merely to describe the request and response bodies for the custom code SDK calls.
Permissions
To perform this operation, you must be a mobile user that has a role that's associated with the mobile backend or you must be a virtual or social user.
Request
-
username: string
The user name of the current user, which is the user in the
Authorization
HTTP request header. Use~
to indicate the current user. If you specify the user name, it must match the user name that's in theAuthorization
HTTP request header.
-
fields(optional): string
You can use this parameter to request a subset of the mobile user properties. This parameter doesn't apply to virtual or social users.
Example:
To retrieve only the properties
firstName
andlastName
for a mobile user, the call would pass the following query parameter:/mobile/platform/users/~?fields=firstName,lastName
The call returns a response like this:
{ "firstName": "Joe", "lastName": "Doe" }
