2.6.User information objects

Several resource attributes (e.g. created_by, modified_by, assigned_to) are Joomla user IDs. For each such field a companion field_info object is also returned, populated with full user details. This object is null when the corresponding user ID is zero or the user does not exist.

The *_info object has the following fields:

id (integer)

Joomla user ID.

username (string)

Joomla username (login name).

name (string)

Display name of the user.

email (string)

Email address of the user.

groups (array of strings)

Human-readable titles of the Joomla user groups the user belongs to.

is_manager (boolean)

true if the user is an ATS manager in the category associated with the resource; false otherwise.

Example:

"created_by_info": {  "id": 851,  "username": "johndoe",  "name": "John Doe",  "email": "[email protected]",  "groups": ["Registered", "Support Staff"],  "is_manager": true}
