Trying to send a GET request with Postman (chrome plugin) using the following url: http://_MY_WEBSITE_URL_/w

Answer 1

I think issue is not for getting user data from server but this error code is for your authentication problem have this user capability or Role might not be administrator

wp-content/plugins/rest-api/lib/endpoints/class-wp-rest-users-controller.php

public function get_item_permissions_check( $request ) {

    $id = (int) $request['id'];
    $user = get_userdata( $id );
    $types = get_post_types( array( 'public' => true ), 'names' );

    if ( empty( $id ) || empty( $user->ID ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'rest_user_invalid_id', __( 'Invalid resource id.' ), array( 'status' => 404 ) );
    }

    if ( get_current_user_id() === $id ) {
        return true;
    }

    if ( 'edit' === $request['context'] && ! current_user_can( 'list_users' ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'rest_user_cannot_view', __( 'Sorry, you cannot view this resource with edit context.' ), array( 'status' => rest_authorization_required_code() ) );
    } else if ( ! count_user_posts( $id, $types ) && ! current_user_can( 'edit_user', $id ) && ! current_user_can( 'list_users' ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'rest_user_cannot_view', __( 'Sorry, you cannot view this resource.' ), array( 'status' => rest_authorization_required_code() ) );
    }

    return true;
}
