Get user properties by specific Id - Not current Id

Question

Is there a function call I can use to get user properties (login name, display name and\or title) from a specific user id, not the current user, but a user of my choice? I've tried a few variations out of sheer desperation with no luck.

var user = context.get_web().siteUsers().getById(userID);

or

var user = context.get_web().ensureUser(userID);

I'm not having any luck finding something. I can post the complete function I've built if need be. I'm getting .siteUser is not a function or .getById is not a function errors.

Answer 1

Using JSOM:

Try this:

 var user = context.get_web().get_siteUsers().getById('userId');//Give the user id here

Answer 2

Here is bunch of queries for specific user across all environment :

4) Get all properties of Specific User:

For Office 365/SharePoint Online: http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='i:0%23.f|membership|[email protected]'

For SharePoint 2013 On-Premises: http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='domain\username'

5) Get Specific UserProfile Property of Specific User:

For Office 365/SharePoint Online: http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='LastName')?@v='i:0%23.f|membership|[email protected]'

For SharePoint 2013 On-Premises: http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='LastName')?@v='domain\username'

6) Get Multiple UserProfile Properties for Specific User:

Update (01/06/2016): Since the time I wrote this post, REST API batching has been implemented in SharePoint Online. As a result, we can make multiple REST requests to the GetUserProfilePropertiesFor function in a single REST call. This way, we can get Multiple custom/OOB UserProfile Properties for a Specific User without making multiple calls.

Here is my post on it: SharePoint Online: Get UserProfile Properties with REST API Batching
