Get information about the user (such as name...)

Get the users information by his userid. Should be easy to do, but the information is not super useful for now

I am not sure if this is relevant to the "info about user" question here, I am just starting to find my way round this integration.

I recognise the library is a downstream library used by Home Assistant, and have just posted the following question in the HA community

Hi, I have just got my Id.3, and got the Mitch-dc integration working - thank you the effort in making this integration, it has been simple so far!
My question is, how are people managing multiple users in the car?
I am primary I’d.3 user, and my wife is a guest.
When I am logged into the car, the data comes through just great.
However, when my wife is logged in, the data feed stops (the VW I’d.3 app does not show data either, citing driver privacy.)
I tried adding the integration twice, under both VW user IDs, but HA gets very confused.
Any suggestions on how to manage 2 users?

For HA to solve this, will it mean this integration needs to support multiple users?

[tillsteinbach]

Unfortunately my ID.3 is not yet on SW 3.0 and thus does not support multiple users. So I cannot reproduce the issue. My guess is that there is a privacy setting for each user that allows to control if data is shared wirh the servers or not.

One followup question: is she a secondary user or a guest?

[ColinRobbins]

She is logged in as a secondary user.
(I have to admit, I don’t yet see the real benefit of doing this - we did it because we could! May revert to just using a shared primary user account.)

I’ve looked at all the setting both in the car, app and web site, and there does not appear to be any setting to allow the secondary user to share data with the primary user. As soon as the secondary user logs in, the primary user is blind to data such as charge level / range.
