# [BETA] List users who have created flags in accessible projects.

GET https://app.unleash-instance.example.com/api/admin/flag-creators

**[BETA]** This API is in beta state, which means it may change or be removed in the future.

Returns a paginated list of distinct users who have created flags in projects the caller can access. Supports search via `query` against user name, username, or email.

Reference: https://docs.getunleash.io/api/get-flag-creators

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (required) — API key needed to access this API
- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — API key needed to access this API, in Bearer token format

## Request

### Query parameters

- `q` (string, optional) — Matches user name as a substring, and username or email as a prefix.
- `offset` (string, optional) — The number of flag creators to skip when returning a page. By default it is set to 0.
- `limit` (string, optional) — The number of flag creators to return in a page. By default it is set to 50.

## Response

flagCreatorsSchema

- `total` (integer, required) — The total number of flag creators matching the search and access filters.
- `flagCreators` (list of FlagCreatorsSchemaFlagCreatorsItems, required) — The flag creators returned in the current page.

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Authorization information is missing or invalid. Provide a valid API token as the `authorization` header, e.g. `authorization:*.*.my-admin-token`.

- `id` (string, optional) — The ID of the error instance
- `name` (string, optional) — The name of the error kind
- `message` (string, optional) — A description of what went wrong.

### 403 Forbidden Error

The provided user credentials are valid, but the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform this operation

- `id` (string, optional) — The ID of the error instance
- `name` (string, optional) — The name of the error kind
- `message` (string, optional) — A description of what went wrong.

## Types

### FlagCreatorsSchemaFlagCreatorsItems

- `id` (integer, required) — The user id.
- `name` (string, required) — Name of the user. If the user has no set name, the API falls back to using the user's username (if they have one) or email (if neither name or username is set).
