The instant this user's password was last checked to determine if it is compromised.

user.connectorId UUID Available since 1.18.0

The unique Id of the Connector associated with the System of Record being used to authenticate the user.

user.data Object

An object that can hold any information about the User that should be persisted.

user.data.email String

This field will be used as the email address if no user.email field is found.

This feature was removed in version 1.26.0 and added back in 1.27.2.

user.expiry Long

The expiration instant of the User's account. An expired user is not permitted to log in.

user.firstName String

The first name of the User.

user.fullName String

The User's full name as a separate field that is not calculated from firstName and lastName.

user.id UUID

The User's unique Id.

user.identities Array Available since 1.59.0

The list of identities that exist for a User.

user.identities[x].displayValue String Available since 1.59.0

The display value for the identity. Only used for username type identities. If the unique username feature is not enabled, this value will be the same as user.identities[x].value. Otherwise, it will be the username the User has chosen. For primary username identities, this will be the same value as user.username.

user.identities[x].insertInstant Long Available since 1.59.0

The instant when the identity was created.

user.identities[x].lastLoginInstant Long Available since 1.59.0

The instant when the identity was last used to log in. If a User has multiple identity types (username, email, and phoneNumber), then this value will represent the specific identity they last used to log in. This contrasts with user.lastLoginInstant, which represents the last time any of the User's identities was used to log in.

note

Identity provider logins will not be reflected here (see user.lastLoginInstant for a field that includes identity provider logins).

user.identities[x].lastUpdateInstant Long Available since 1.59.0

The instant when the identity was last updated.

user.identities[x].moderationStatus String Available since 1.59.0

The current status of the username. This is used if you are moderating usernames via CleanSpeak. The possible values are:

  • ACTIVE - the username is active
  • PENDING - the username is pending approval/moderation
  • REJECTED - the username was rejected during moderation

If a username has been rejected, it is still possible to allow the User to update it and have the new one moderated again.

Only used for username type identities. For primary username identities, this will be the same value as user.usernameStatus.

user.identities[x].type String Available since 1.59.0

The identity type. The possible values are:

  • email - identities defined by an email address
  • phoneNumber - identities defined by a phone number
  • username - identities defined by a username
user.identities[x].value String Available since 1.59.0

The value represented by the identity. The contents of this field depend on user.identities[x].typeand will be one of the following:

  • Email address - The User's email address, always lower cased. For primary email identities, this will be the same value as user.email
  • Phone number - The User's phone number, in E.164 canonical format. For primary phone number identities, this will be the same value as user.phoneNumber
  • Username - User's username - this will be the same as user.identities[x].displayValue. For primary username identities, this will be the same value as user.username

This value is unique within a tenant for a particular user.identities[x].type.

note

If the unique usernames feature is enabled, value will be the unique username (within the tenant). For primary username identities, this will also be the same value as user.uniqueUsername.

user.identities[x].verified Boolean Available since 1.59.0

Whether verification was actually performed on the identity by FusionAuth. This is used in combination with the user.identities[x].verifiedReason to decide whether an identity needs verification.

user.identities[x].verifiedInstant Long Available since 1.59.0

The instant when verification was performed on the identity. This field is only populated when verification was actually performed on the identity by FusionAuth.

user.identities[x].verifiedReason String Available since 1.59.0

The reason the User's identity was verified or not verified. The possible values are:

  • Skipped - Verification was skipped due to the skipVerification parameter on the request
  • Trusted - Identity was created via an identity provider or a connector
  • Unverifiable - FusionAuth doesn't know how to verify this identity type. Usernames are an example
  • Implicit - Verification was implicitly performed by sending a set password or passwordless message
  • Pending - Tenant policy requires verification but no verification has been performed yet
  • Completed - Verification was performed by FusionAuth
  • Disabled - Tenant policy did not require verification
  • Import - User was imported so verification was not performed by FusionAuth

If this field is Disabled, Import, Skipped, Trusted, or Unverifiable, then verification will not be required, regardless of the user.identities[x].verified value. For Implicit, Pending, or Completed, the identity will require verification if user.identities[x].verified is false.

user.imageUrl String

The URL that points to an image file that is the User's profile image.

user.insertInstant Long

The instant when the user was created.

user.lastLoginInstant Long

note

Since version 1.59.0, if a user does not currently have a password, this field will not be returned in the response.

user.phoneNumber String Available since 1.59.0

The phone number is stored and returned in E.164 canonical format, however a phone number is considered unique regardless of the format. 303-555-1212 is considered equal to +13035551212 so either version of this phone number can be used whenever providing it as input to an API.

A map that contains tokens returned from identity providers.

For example, if this user has authenticated using the Facebook Identity Provider, the Facebook access token will be available in this map, keyed by name Facebook. For an OpenID Connect Identity provider, or other generic providers, if a token is stored it will be keyed by the Identity Provider unique Id.
