## Responses

### 200

User record.

application/json

Tenant-scoped user record (admin plane). `primaryEmail` may be redacted on the wire based on tenant policy (the routes treat it as opaque). `metadata` is free-form JSON — deployments carry IdP claims / provisioning source / roles here.

When they were removed from the tenant (`POST /v1/identity/users/{userId}/unregister`); absent while they are here.

string format: date-time

Their invitation, while they haven’t signed in: absent once they have, for people added without an email, and for people added before invitations (from 0.1.9).

required

string

**tenantAdmin**

Whether the person is a tenant admin. Absent when the runtime has no authorization store: nothing grants it then.

Array\<object>

A person’s role in a team.

object

**teamId**
