SMNTCS Disable REST API User Endpoints

By default, anyone can request /wp-json/wp/v2/users on a WordPress site and get a list of every author’s username slug. Attackers use that list to guess logins.

SMNTCS Disable REST API User Endpoints removes the user endpoints from the REST API for visitors who are not logged in. Logged-in users and everything else in the REST API keep working, including the block editor.

There are no settings. Activate the plugin and the user endpoints are gone.
