By default, this endpoint returns information for all users, including usernames. If you wish to hide usernames, you can use WordPress’s show_user_logins setting.
For security reasons, you should restrict access to this endpoint. You can use the WordPress rest_user_query filter to limit which users can access the endpoint.
