Get User Information
Retrieves information about a user in the enterprise.
The application and the authenticated user need to have the permission to look up users in the entire enterprise.
This endpoint also returns a limited set of information for external users who are collaborated on content owned by the enterprise for authenticated users with the right scopes. In this case, disallowed fields will return null instead.
