Question Regarding "Users" Field in API Output

Hi,

I have a quick question regarding the output at https://meta.discourse.org/u/Wintermute.json.

Near the top of the page you have a “Users” field which lists a couple accounts (in this case, just me and System).

I have seen other instances where the field will list multiple users. Example: My output might say me, system, and then another user’s name.

What is the data in this field?

What this usually means is that we are referencing these users from other spots in the JSON document by only including them in one spot we can just use ids in nested lists and so on.
