Description

it would've been nice to be able to get which auth_source_id a given user has through the REST API. A nice complement to when creating user where it is possible to set the auth_source_id.

I agree. This feature is also useful for admin scripts which needs to distinguish between "external" and LDAP users.

I attached a patch for this feature. auth_source_id only gets visible for admin users in it, as I do not see the need for standard users.

I think the response should include not only id but also name. Maybe the response does not include "auth_source" if the user uses internal authentication.

{
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "login": "admin",
    "firstname": "Redmine",
    "lastname": "Admin",
    "created_on": "2006-07-19T17:12:21Z",
    "last_login_on": "2019-09-06T06:37:53Z",
    "auth_source": {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "LDAP test server" 
    }
  }
}

Here is a patch to add auth_source to the response of GET /users/:id.(xml|json). auth_source is included only when the users auth_source is not nil and the current user is an administrator.

    "auth_source": {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "LDAP test server" 
    },
