Deprecated
<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Caution - Deprecated endpoint** The legacy User endpoints are deprecated. This endpoint will stop working and return an error after **Dec 15, 2025**. These endpoints were made redundant by the equivalent SCA-enabled endpoints during the introduction of SCA. Instead of calling this endpoint to retrieve key details of a user, your platform must call the [GET View a User (SCA)](/api-reference/users/view-user-sca) endpoint. </Warning> View a User
