Hello! I know this has been brought up in multiple threads through the years ([one](https://community.shiphero.com/t/how-to-get-username-using-user-id/1364), [two](https://community.shiphero.com/t/users-query-available/2270), [three](https://community.shiphero.com/t/how-to-get-user-ids/2151), and [four](https://community.shiphero.com/t/getting-user-name-id-of-shipper/2157), for example) but it would be _ **extremely** _ helpful to have some guaranteed way directly within the API to get the user name that is paired up with a user id. At a minimum, it would work if there could be a users query where it could return a full list of all user ids in the system paired with the user names. Ideally, it would be great if any queries that return a user id, for example inventory\_changes and order\_history, could either include the user name as a field, or link to a user object where the user name could be easily obtained for each record. I know there are a couple of queries that include both the user id and the user name, such as the picks\_per\_day and pack\_per\_day queries. Unfortunately using those as a basis for finding user names isn’t really feasible because not all users perform those tasks. Or they may perform them only sporadically. Automating valid date ranges in hopes to _maybe_ catch the specific user id showing up in the results for some other query does not work reliably. Thanks!
