# Users API
## List users
Get a list of users.
This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.
### For normal users
```plaintext
GET /users
```
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"username": "john_smith",
"name": "John Smith",
"state": "active",
"avatar_url": "http://localhost:3000/uploads/user/avatar/1/cd8.jpeg",
"web_url": "http://localhost:3000/john_smith"
},
{
"id": 2,
"username": "jack_smith",
"name": "Jack Smith",
"state": "blocked",
"avatar_url": "http://gravatar.com/../e32131cd8.jpeg",
"web_url": "http://localhost:3000/jack_smith"
}
]
```
You can also search for users by name or primary email using `?search=`. For example. `/users?search=John`.
In addition, you can lookup users by username:
```plaintext
GET /users?username=:username
```
For example:
```plaintext
GET /users?username=jack_smith
```
NOTE:
Username search is case insensitive.
In addition, you can filter users based on the states `blocked` and `active`.
It does not support `active=false` or `blocked=false`. The list of billable users
is the total number of users minus the blocked users.
```plaintext
GET /users?active=true
```
```plaintext
GET /users?blocked=true
```
In addition, you can search for external users only with `external=true`.
It does not support `external=false`.
```plaintext
GET /users?external=true
```
GitLab supports bot users such as the [alert bot](../operations/incident_management/integrations.md)
or the [support bot](../user/project/service_desk.md#support-bot-user).
You can exclude the following types of [internal users](../development/internal_users.md#internal-users)
from the users' list, with the `exclude_internal=true` parameter,
([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/241144) in GitLab 13.4).
- Alert bot
- Support bot
However, this action does not exclude [project bot users](../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md#project-bot-users).
```plaintext
GET /users?exclude_internal=true
```
In addition, to exclude external users from the users' list, you can use the parameter `exclude_external=true`.
```plaintext
GET /users?exclude_external=true
```
### For admins
```plaintext
GET /users
```

| `sort` | string | no | Return users sorted in `asc` or `desc` order. Default is `desc` |
| `two_factor` | string | no | Filter users by Two-factor authentication. Filter values are `enabled` or `disabled`. By default it returns all users |
