# Get user

> **API operation:** [Open the endpoint in Scalar](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/#tag/users/GET/users/{user})

Use `GET /users/{user}` to retrieve one user. The current public operation is `User.find.users_user`.

The archived route named its final integer parameter `user_id`; the current route and controller use `user` in the same position. The HTTP method and fixed resource path are otherwise identical.

Administrators and agents can retrieve other users. Other callers may be limited to their own user record; business-manager access can depend on role permissions.

Use `params` only for fields and relations supported by the current operation.
