Version 4.0.25.14 (latest)
Get user attribute values for a given user.
Returns the values of specified user attributes (or all user attributes) for a certain user.
A value for each user attribute is searched for in the following locations, in this order:
in the user's account information
in groups that the user is a member of
the default value of the user attribute
If more than one group has a value defined for a user attribute, the group with the lowest rank wins.
The response will only include user attributes for which values were found. Use include_unset=true to include
empty records for user attributes with no value.
The value of all hidden user attributes will be blank.
