Retrieve list of users by ID

[jtrollkarl]

I was curious if it would be possible to implement such a function? I've currently written

suspend fun AdminApi.retrieveUsersByIds(uids: List<String>): List<UserInfo> = coroutineScope { uids.map { uid -> async { retrieveUserById(uid) } }.awaitAll() }

but was curious if there would be a more efficient method instead of doing individual calls and waiting? I see in AdminApi there is:

`override suspend fun retrieveUserById(uid: String): UserInfo { return api.get("admin/users/$uid").safeBody() }`

I don't know if there currently exists an API function/path to achieve the behaviour i want (select multiple UserInfo objects by a list of IDs). My implementation is basically doing multiple calls to the admin/users/uidhere endpoint - but is it possible to request and receive a list?

Original feature request was posted in the kotlin wrapper library: supabase-community/supabase-kt#1075

Nothing built in to the Auth REST API so nothing clients can do but loop.

You could write your own security definer function that takes an array and selects from auth.users. Then return a table or json structure.
You can call this with rpc and protect to just service_role using it.
