Question
- Do I need both the users and users_profile scope?
Solution
The primary difference between the "Users [General]" and the "Users [Profile]" scopes is that:
- The "Users [Profile]" scope will return Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as user names and email addresses.
- The "Users [General]" will return non-identifiable metadata such as user ID and created_at fields only.
Important Considerations
Note: If you enable the "Users [Profile]" scope, you do not need the "Users [General]" scope. The "Users [Profile]" scope includes every endpoint that "Users [General]" has, plus additional endpoints.
Apps that request the "Users [Profile]" scope will be subject to additional scrutiny during the app review process. An app that enables the "Users [Profile]" scope but does not require PII for the app to function will be denied during the app review process.
