# Show and List Frontend Users

This Feature allows you to display the data of the current user, a selected user by an editor or list user and provide
a detail page.

Caution: Please take care, that you do not disclose information in public environments and be careful, which data you show in the detail view.

## Show the current user

Useful, if you want to show a "read only view" for the current logged in
frontend user.

**Configuration:**

1.  Add a femanager plugin to your page
1.  choose "detail" view
1.  select the tab "Detail" and choose "Logged in FE User"

1.  Add a femanager plugin to your page
1.  choose "detail" view
1.  select the tab "Detail" and select your options

> [!WARNING]
> **Attention**
>
> Take care that you do not disclose information in public environments and be careful which data you show in the detail view.
>
> If you do not select a frontend user, the detail view only renders a user that was linked from a femanager list plugin. Those links carry a signed `hash` argument that is validated before the record is rendered, so a hand-crafted URL with an arbitrary `tx_femanager_detail[user]=XX` and no valid hash is rejected.

### Custom list and detail templates

Every link to the `show` action that passes a `user` must also pass the corresponding signed `hash`. This also applies to customized list templates. Without the hash, the detail request is rejected.

`UserController::listAction` assigns the `showHashes` array, keyed by the user uid. Use it in customized list templates as follows:

```html
<f:for each="{users}" as="user">
   <f:variable name="showHash" value="{showHashes.{user.uid}}" />
   <f:link.action action="show" arguments="{user:user, hash:showHash}">
      {user.username}
   </f:link.action>
</f:for>
```

In a customized detail template, use the single `showHash` variable for a self-referencing link:

```html
<f:link.action action="show" arguments="{user:user, hash:showHash}">
   {user.username}
</f:link.action>
```

## List Users and provide a detail page

1.  select the tab "Detail" and choose a frontend user
