#### Response Body

`user.active`Boolean

True if the User is active. False if the User has been deactivated. Deactivated Users will not be able to log in.

`user.birthDate`String

The User's birthdate formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`

`user.breachedPasswordLastCheckedInstant`Long

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) this user's password was last checked to determine if it is compromised.

`user.connectorId`UUIDAvailable since 1.18.0

The unique Id of the [Connector](https://fusionauth.io/docs/lifecycle/migrate-users/connectors.md) associated with the System of Record being used to authenticate the user.

`user.cleanSpeakId`UUID

This Id is used by FusionAuth when the User's username is sent to CleanSpeak to be moderated (filtered and potentially sent to the approval queue). It is the **content Id** of the username inside CleanSpeak.

`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.email`String

The User's email address.

`user.expiry`Long

The expiration [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) 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`ArrayAvailable since 1.59.0

The list of identities that exist for a User.

`user.identities[x].displayValue`StringAvailable 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`LongAvailable since 1.59.0

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) when the identity was created.

`user.identities[x].lastLoginInstant`LongAvailable since 1.59.0

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) 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`LongAvailable since 1.59.0

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) when the identity was last updated.

`user.identities[x].moderationStatus`StringAvailable 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`StringAvailable 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`StringAvailable since 1.59.0

The value represented by the identity. The contents of this field depend on **user.identities\[x\].type**and 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`BooleanAvailable 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`LongAvailable since 1.59.0

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) 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`StringAvailable 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](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) when the user was created.

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) when the User logged in last. See **user.identities\[x\].lastLoginInstant** for more granular information based on identity.

`user.lastName`String

The User's last name.

`user.lastUpdateInstant`Long

The [instant](https://fusionauth.io/docs/reference/data-types.md#instants) when the User was last updated.

`user.legacyIdentifier`StringAvailable since 1.67

Used to override the `sub` claim in tokens issued by the Legacy Identity Provider Adapter.

This value is immutable after the user is created and is unique within the tenant when non-null.

`user.memberships`Array

The list of memberships for the User.

`user.memberships[x].data`Object

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

`user.memberships[x].groupId`UUID

note

This differs from **user.phoneNumber** and cannot be used to log in.

`user.parentEmail`StringAvailable since 1.7.0

The email address of the user's parent or guardian. If this value was provided during a create or update operation, this value will only remain until the child is claimed by a parent.

`user.phoneNumber`StringAvailable since 1.59.0

The User's primary phone number. 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.

note

This differs from **user.mobilePhone** in that **user.phoneNumber** can be used to log in, just like an email address or a username.

`user.preferredLanguages`Array<String>
