HTTP GET¶

Retrieve information on a registered user.

This mainly returns some basic information (username, full name, e-mail address) and links to that user’s root Watched Items resource, which is used for keeping track of the groups and review requests that the user has “starred”.

Request Parameters¶

render-avatars-atString A comma-separated list of avatar pixel sizes to render. Renders for each specified size be available in the avatars_html dictionary. If not provided, avatars will not be rendered.

HTTP PUT¶

Update information on a user.

Users can update their own email, first_name, and last_name information.

Administrators or those with the auth.change_user permission can update those along with is_active. When setting is_active to False, the user will not be able to log in through standard credentials or API tokens. (Note that this does not delete their password or API tokens. It simply blocks the ability to log in.)

Note

This API cannot be used on Local Sites.
