Load user object for system.connect return value

Neat idea, might it be good to instead create a user.load function as part of the user service? Then we could load user data from any user.

I recently had the same problem and made this patch to load the user object during system.connect. It would be great to see this merged in soon.

Thanks.

This can be achieved by calling user.get after calling the connect function.

Here's how to post process the System Connect call in Drupal 7 to return a fully loaded user account object:

/**
 * Implements hook_services_request_postprocess_alter().
 */
function my_module_services_request_postprocess_alter($controller, $args, &$result) {
  if ($controller['callback'] == '_system_resource_connect') {
    global $user;
    if ($user->uid) {
      $account = user_load($user->uid);
      unset($account->pass);
      $result->user = $account;
    }
  }
}

Not sure how I managed to change it to 8.x, I guess I'll change it to 7.x as that's the most relevant now-ish.
