If the user doing the request is not admin, it depends on the requested user:
* if the user is not locked and is not admin, the endpoint returns a user object with the fields @firstname@, @lastname@, @mail@, @created_on@
* if the user is not locked and is admin, the endpoint returns a user object with the fields @firstname@, @lastname@, @created_on@, @last_login_on@
* if the user is locked, the endpoint returns 404 status code
* if the user is the requesting user, you will also have the fields @login@, @api_key@
