Users Fieldtype

Overview

The most common use for the Users fieldtype is to set the “author” for entries, but it’s not the only use. You could…

• List people who contributed to a project
• Link to related authors
• Manage an “Employee of the Weekend” section. Everyone wants to be the King or Queen of Inventory Saturday, right?
• Display team bios
• Pull in customer’s testimonials through their user account.

Data Structure

The Users fieldtype is a relationship fieldtype – which mean the data will store a reference to the users IDs to main a dynamic link.

Templating

All relationship fields use augmentation to fetch the actual data objects, allowing you to interact with the related data automatically and dynamically.
