Restricting user data visibility

    Hi All,
    I’m developing a website where I want maximum privacy between users. i.e. users must not be aware of other users on the site, unless they below to the same ‘company’ (a field I created in user_meta). The very presence of a user is commercially sensitive information to my users….
    I have restricted the users visible in a ‘pre_user_query’ filter, changing the SQL query to look for only those users who share the same company ID, and this works well, show by looking at the rest interface (for example):
    /wp-json/wp/v2/users/

    However, I’m struggling with finding a way to stop
    /wp-json/wp/v2/users/1
    or
    /author/fred
    from revealing customer data.

    Any pointers appreciated…

    Simon

    from revealing customer data.

    Such as a username? Please be quite specific in your reply. Does your site add data that would not otherwise be added to such a request without the theme and plugins in use on your site?
