      summary: Grafana Get User By Login Or Email
      description: The Grafana API endpoint /users/lookup with the GET method allows administrators to retrieve detailed information about a specific user by providing either their login username or email address as a query parameter. This operation is particularly useful when you need to fetch user details but only have their login credentials or email rather than their numeric user ID. The endpoint returns comprehensive user information including the user's ID, email, name, login, theme preferences, organization details, and authentication labels. Access to this endpoint typically requires administrator privileges as it exposes sensitive user information across the Grafana instance.
