Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

You can always retrieve your own user account. Otherwise, you must have the Project User Admin role in at least one project that is common between you and the user you are retrieving.

You cannot use this endpoint to return information on an API Key. Request the Get One API Key endpoint to get this information.
