Find users by ID

Feature
1

Certain Discourse logs use user ID to identify users instead of usernames. However, it is not currently possible to look up users via ID.

  • Attempting to navigate by user ID as admin fails: discourse.example.com/admin/users/12345, it appears as though the username must be included to be routed.
  • Searching by ID on the /admin/users also fails.

Given that all /admin routes are already staff only, allowing /admin/users/user_id to route without the username shouldn’t be a security risk.

You can just go to discourse.example.com/admin/users/12345/- :wink:
