# Users API

## List users

Active users = Total accounts - Blocked users

Get a list of users.

This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.

### For normal users

```plaintext
GET /users
```

```json
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "username": "john_smith",
    "name": "John Smith",
    "state": "active",
    "avatar_url": "http://localhost:3000/uploads/user/avatar/1/cd8.jpeg",
    "web_url": "http://localhost:3000/john_smith"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "username": "jack_smith",
    "name": "Jack Smith",
    "state": "blocked",
    "avatar_url": "http://gravatar.com/../e32131cd8.jpeg",
    "web_url": "http://localhost:3000/jack_smith"
  }
]
```

You can also search for users by name or primary email using `?search=`. For example. `/users?search=John`.

In addition, you can lookup users by username:

```plaintext
GET /users?username=:username
```

For example:

```plaintext
GET /users?username=jack_smith
```

In addition, you can filter users based on states eg. `blocked`, `active`
This works only to filter users who are `blocked` or `active`.
It does not support `active=false` or `blocked=false`.

```plaintext
GET /users?active=true
```

```plaintext
GET /users?blocked=true
```

NOTE: **Note:**
Username search is case insensitive.

### For admins

```plaintext
GET /users
```

## User creation

Creates a new user. Note only administrators can create new
users. Either `password`, `reset_password`, or `force_random_password`
must be specified. If `reset_password` and `force_random_password` are
both `false`, then `password` is required.

Note that `force_random_password` and `reset_password` take priority
over `password`. In addition, `reset_password` and
`force_random_password` can be used together.

NOTE: **Note:**
From [GitLab 12.1](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/29888/), `private_profile` will default to `false`.
