@RocketChat/android @rocketchat/ios thoughts? This is probably something useful to you guys isn't it? |

@geekgonecrazy Yes, this is very useful for us, an API with all user settings would be welcome. 👍 Just one thing... shouldn't |

You are still allowing to get data from any user you pass in params, you need to use the this.userId to find the logged user record

Well @rodrigok this is a bit of a chicken and an egg situation, because if you check the file thoroughly, you will find that on 7 other methods we are defining the user in the same way. However, I do agree that we can narrow the scope down and enforce a more secure fashion.
So I'm changing that now and see if you like it. Thx!

@geekgonecrazy yes, I noticed that. And it's amazing how you guys improved documentation last couple of months. Sorry @MarcosSpessatto you had to pick up some tests writing for me. I will definitely look into writing tests. But I'm unaware of where to write the docs. If you give me pointers @geekgonecrazy I will definitely look into that too. Thx!! |

@jgtoriginal did you tested this? You will need to execute a find to get the user's object when you have the user's id

@MarcosSpessatto we are going back to what we previously had here, which @rodrigok asked to change for this.userId Any particular reason?

[NEW] Add user settings / preferences API endpoint #8694
Add a user settings / preferences endpoint to api, to make it possible to change user settings via authenticated api call.
@RocketChat/core
Closes #8694
@dennispost raised the concern of not being able to get and set user preferences via API.
@graywolf336 confirmed that such method didn't exist
I'm just providing a possible solution here.
