### Load a user's data, using a valid management key. This API endpoint takes the user's loginId and then returns details of a user utilizing a valid management key. The response includes the following; however, there are additional items in the response that you can see below by expanding the response 200 OK. - loginIds - userId - name - email - phone - verified settings (phone, email) - Tenant configurations - which tenantIds, which roleNames _Note: Suppose you frequently load a user for a specific user detail, such as their email address or a particular custom attribute. In that case, you can save execution time and additional API/SDK calls to load the user by adding the items to the custom claim. For details on adding items to the custom claims, see [this documentation](/security-best-practices/custom-claims#using-custom-claims-within-descope-flows)._ _Note: If you have access to all federated applications, the list will return as an empty array. Descope allows you to restrict which apps each user has access to, but by default gives access to all applications._ ### Next Steps Once you have this data, you can utilize the response to prepare the payload to perform an [Update](/api/management/users/update-user) on the user. ### See also - See [Manage Users](/manage/users) for further details on managing users. - See [The User Object](/api/overview#the-user-object) for further details on the user object. ### Endpoint Authentication Use authorization bearer header with the following format: `Authorization: Bearer <ProjectId:ManagementKey>`
