Learn how to read, add, and delete monday users via the platform API

Every monday.com user is part of an account or organization and has a unique set of user details. Users also have different roles within an account and can be admins, team members, members, viewers, guests, subscribers, board owners, or in a custom role. This information is accessible via the API through the users object.

      id
    }
  }
