Return One MongoDB Cloud User by ID Deprecated

GET /api/atlas/v2/users/{userId}

Returns the details for one MongoDB Cloud user account with the specified unique identifier for the user. You can't use this endpoint to return information on an API Key.

To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key can have any role.
