user_info

Returns information about a user. If no argument is given, this function will return information about the currently logged in user.

This function requires GRANT privileges on the @thingsdb scope when a username other then the logged in user is given as argument. For the currently logged in user, QUERY privileges on the @thingsdb scope are sufficient.

This function is accessible from any scope when invoked without arguments (since version 1.6.6).

This function does not generate a change.
