Difference: VarUSERINFO (1 vs. 2)

USERINFO{"WikiName"} -- retrieve details about a user

• Expands to: guest, TWikiGuest, (comma-separated list of the username, wikiusername, and emails)
• With formatted output, using tokens $emails, $username, $wikiname, $wikiusername, and $groups:
  • Example: %USERINFO{ format="$username is really $wikiname" }%
  • Expands to: guest is really TWikiGuest
• Retrieve information about another user:
  • Example: %USERINFO{ "TWikiGuest" format="$username is really $wikiname" }%

• • Note: The parameter should be the wikiname of a user. You can only get information about another user if the {AntiSpam}{HideUserDetails} configuration option is not enabled, or if you are an admin. (User details are hidden in this TWiki)
