[Vtigercrm-developers] How to use server api to get information about assigned user, like their name?

[Alan Lord]

A "Me" api could be useful for quite a few things but in my case I need 
to get details on the "assigned_user_id" which might, or might not, be 
"me". Think use like with email or print templates...

Cheers

Al
