Required permissions⚭

You must be an Administrator or Manager with assigned teammates in order to interact with the /v2/users endpoint, except when retrieving the currently authenticated user. Managers cannot edit emails, roles, or permissions, nor can they archive, restore, or delete assigned temmates. Managers with permission to see billable rates will have access to their teammates’ default hourly rates. Insufficient permissions will result in a 403 Forbidden status code.

List all users⚭

Returns a list of your users. The users are returned sorted by creation date, with the most recently created users appearing first.

The response contains an object with a users property that contains an array of up to per_page users. Each entry in the array is a separate user object. If no more users are available, the resulting array will be empty. Several additional pagination properties are included in the response to simplify paginating your users.

GET /v2/users
Parameter	Type	Description
is_active	boolean	Pass true to only return active users and false to return inactive users.
updated_since	datetime	Only return users that have been updated since the given date and time.
page	integer	DEPRECATED The page number to use in pagination. For instance, if you make a list request and receive 2000 records, your subsequent call can include page=2 to retrieve the next page of the list. (Default: 1)
per_page	integer	The number of records to return per page. Can range between 1 and 2000. (Default: 2000)
This endpoint supports cursor-based pagination and therefore deprecates the page parameter. For more information, visit the pagination guide.

If a user is a manager they can have other access roles set for more specific permissions in Harvest.
The role of people_manager is determined by whether the user has teammates assigned to them, which can be added through the teammates api. If you downgrade a People Manager’s access role to Member, they will no longer be a People Manager and their assigned teammates will be removed.
