I have entity Post and I want to fetch all posts created by Strapi users.
When I request http://localhost:1337/api/posts?populate=* I received response like this:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 2,
            "documentId": "vxut8xlbqvbn44v50jq3513m",
            "content": "test",
            "createdAt": "2024-06-02T19:19:41.626Z",
            "updatedAt": "2024-06-02T19:19:54.613Z",
            "publishedAt": "2024-06-02T19:19:54.616Z",
            "locale": null,
            "createdBy": null,
            "updatedBy": null
        }
    ],
    "meta": {
        "pagination": {
            "page": 1,
            "pageSize": 25,
            "pageCount": 1,
            "total": 1
        }
    }
}

createdBy is null.
I set populateCreatorFields=true.

createdBy is only for admin users

3

It’s not the same user using auth (user-permissions user)

4

I know. I want to get info about admin user with role author, who is author of blog post.

5

Might be a v5 bug

6

Should I report it on Github Issuses?

7

I don’t think you can, security wise, and I’m not sure there is any info but role email and name on admin user anyways

8

You probably need to create user permission user and do relation to admin on that

As far as I remember, it is an option you have to enable on your content schema: How to populate creator fields | Strapi Documentation
