    • Non-administrators must include a project_id parameter.
    • When a project_id is omitted, all user information is returned.
    • get_users/{project_id} only retrieves users with explicit project access and does not list users with global access.

    When a project_id parameter is used:

    • The role and role_id values returned will correspond to the user’s project-level access.
    • Inactive users are not included in the response.
    • Users without access to the project are not included in the response.
