From a Client SDK you can’t get data of other users.

then where to get??

can u share resources to get through it

[azure kraken]

You could create a Function which uses the Server SDK to call the users.get() method. Just make sure you set correct permissions on the Function, and only return the fields you really need.

let me work on it.

Why?

[unique light]

Actually I'm building a blogging website where I need this feature to fetch user details using its userid

Why do you need to fetch user details?

[unique light]

I want that to user can view others profile 🤔

The typical approach to this is to create a Profiles collection for what should be visible. The built in users is not publicly accessible because there's a lot of private data in there

You can set up a function to automatically populate and update the documents in the profiles collection

Ohh should I create function which is store all new user public data into a document and then access it with I'd great suggestion thanks Steven

But how do I get a foreign key reference to this private user table? Managing this using function seems really backwards.

[azure kraken]

That’s why I suggested a Function which only returns the required attributes

[azure kraken]

You’d set the Document ID to be the User ID, presumably

[toxic dome]

But as I see it, there is no way to actually get a link to the private user table. So they would just share the user ID and not actually be in any relationship, thus not guaranteeing data integrity.

[azure kraken]

Well, my understanding is that the officially recommended method would be to have a Function triggered on user data update

[unique light]

Yeah, it cause but we dosen't have any other option now

I got my answer can i close it or we have to remain open this post.
