Query all Users in a Workflow Role

Question

Hi there, 
 We are trying to get all users within a workflow role. 
 Actually, we are trying to query all assignees of a specific Human Action task step but only the ones are returned that are assigned via "Users", not the ones that are assigned via "Roles". 
 So, we tried this endpoint: 
 https://docs.rws.com/791697/646822/sdl-worldserver-11-3-developer-documentation/get-information-about-a-specific-workflow-role 
 Together with the Fields filter.... 
 
 /workflowRoles/{$id}?fields=id,name,users 
 or... 
 /workflowRoles/{$id}?fields=id,name,users(id,name,email) 
 
 ...but the response does not include the users of the role: 
 
 stdClass Object 
 ( 
 [id] => 3579 
 [name] => HR 
 ) 
 
 Is this a bug, or is there no field called "users", or what could be the issue here? 
 
 Any help or feedback will be greatly appreciated. 
 Thanks! 
 Maren

Hi Maren, 
 It seems the API does not return the list of users, unfortunately. All the data you can acquire by calling this API is as below. 
 
 { "id" : 11 , "name" : "Administrators" , "disabled" : false , "description" : "Administrators" } 
 So you might need to get users and filter the respond data in your code, it is a bit primitive way though. 
 (I only can find two types of values for filterting as a locale ID and a workgroup name: https://docs.rws.com/791697/644877/sdl-worldserver-11-3-developer-documentation/get-users) 
 It might be better to use `fields` query to get only the ID and grooup IDs to reduce a response size.
