  I need to call wordpress endpoints from outside without basic auth. So I used api key for that. I defined my api key inside the config file. I am able to get main user details by calling the below endpoint.
  https://mysite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users/1
  But I am getting a n error while calling for another user as follows
  https://mysite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users/2
  Error:
  ‘code’: ‘rest_user_cannot_view’,
  ‘message’: ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to list users.’,
  ‘data’: {
  ‘status’: 401
  }
  How I can authorize the API key for all users? Please help
