Help : Can not get Author Details.

[maulikatwork]

This might be a noob question but i am stuck from last 2 days and i can not seem to find any solution.
This Plugin is excellent and it is working great on my application.
But i am not able to get the author data, All i get when fetchign the comments is author id.

I am able to post the Comment by using Authenticated user's jwt Token.

this is the payload, author's jwt passed authentication.

{
  "content": "My sample response"
}

and this is the responce

{
    "id": 15,
    "documentId": "xkbs5a2q1h4ch73m83hbmqk9",
    "content": "My sample response",
    "blocked": false,
    "blockedThread": false,
    "blockReason": null,
    "isAdminComment": null,
    "removed": null,
    "approvalStatus": "PENDING",
    "related": "api::article.article:ycgguunpdnocemmpharddvwg",
    "createdAt": "2025-12-10T18:47:39.045Z",
    "updatedAt": "2025-12-10T18:47:39.045Z",
    "publishedAt": "2025-12-10T18:47:39.046Z",
    "locale": null,
    "reports": [],
    "threadOf": null,
    "author": {
        "id": 2
    }
}

this is the same responce i get when i use get api for the comments.
author.id is correct and it matches the actual user id but it would be great if i would get fields like "username" , "name" etc which is there is the plugin::user-permissions.user

Document does not provide much details on how to achieve this.

Could you let me know if you're using the latest version of the plugin (v.3.1.2)? Also, please check the config file to ensure that blockedAuthorProps does not block any values from the response.
From README: blockedAuthorProps - list of author's entity properties removed from a response for client side.

comments: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      enabledContentTypes: ["api::article.article"],
      approvalFlow: ["api::article.article"],
      badWords: true,
      moderatorRoles: ["Super Admin", "Authenticated"],
      entryLabel: {
        "*": ["Title", "title", "Name", "name", "Subject", "subject"],
        "api::article.article": ["title"],
      },
      reportReasons: {
        BAD_LANGUAGE: "Bad Language",
        SPAM: "Spam",
      },
    },
  },

This is my configuration.

I was on version 3.1.1 but updated to Latest 3.1.2 and tested again. Still same responce.

Could you also copy and paste the data from the config in your browser (Network -> config -> preview), please?
