Request the details of a user from the Users and Groups application. The Web API does not provide values for user fields, except if it is asked for them. Using an empty JSON query with at least {} will provide a list of available user fields. Depending on the logged-in users' permissions, not all user fields will be available. Only users with the Users and Groups Administrative Permission have access to all user fields - but must also query them explicitly.

Request the details of a user using the following data:

Note: If an empty list of fields is given, a list of available fields for the given user is provided in the response. The list of available fields varies depending on the available plugins installed in the i-net HelpDesk server.
