craft.users

This document is for a version of Craft CMS that is no longer supported. Please refer to the latest version →

If you have Craft Pro, you can access your site’s users from your templates via craft.users. It returns an ElementCriteriaModel object.

{% for author in craft.users.group('authors') %}
  <li><a href="{{ url('authors/'~author.id) }}">{{ author.name }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}

#Parameters

#admin

Only fetch admin users. Possible values include '1' and 'not 1'.

{# Fetch all the admins #}
{% set admins = craft.users.admin('1') %}

{# Fetch all the non-admins #}
{% set nonAdmins = craft.users.admin('not 1') %}

#can
