## Group Space Members

An individual user in your organization can be given access to a space *directly*, via a space membership, or *indirectly*, via their membership in a team that has itself been granted access via a team space membership. The access rights of a user in a space are calculated by combining the rights of *all* such memberships through which the user has derived access.

Because this complex relationship between a user and a space can be difficult to reason about, the **space member** entity was developed. This entity reveals exactly which individual users have access to a space, and reveals their combined access rights within a single object. Furthermore, it provides a link to the related membership objects from which their access is derived.

### Get all space members in a space

[Get all space members in a space](/references/user-management-api/space-members/get-all-space-members)

This endpoint returns a paginated collection of all the space members in a space. This collection represents the set of all users in your organization who have access to the space.

All space members can access this endpoint.

#### Query Parameters

| Name            | Details                      | Description                                                                                                                                      |
| --------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `skip`, `limit` | -                            | Specify requested page of result set. See [Pagination](#/introduction/pagination) for more details.                                              |
| `include`       | Supported values: `sys.user` | Specify linked resources to include in response. See [Including Related Resources](#/introduction/including-related-resources) for more details. |

For the following response, the `SpaceMember` resources returned in `items` are the same for all requesters.

When using `include=sys.user`, the included User resources may differ depending on the requester’s role in the space:

* **Admin requesters** may receive full user information in `includes.User`.
* **Non-admin requesters** may receive a reduced (minified) representation in `includes.User`.

> **Info**
>
> When `include=sys.user` is specified, clients should not assume that all user attributes are always present in `includes.User`. The shape of included user data depends on the caller’s role in the space.
