Get an identity

GET/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/applications/{appSlug}/environments/{envSlug}/identities/{id}

Returns a single identity by id, scoped to the current Environment. The response carries profile metadata only (id, email, name, external_id, is_active, created_at); use the detail endpoint for role assignments. Returns 404 when the id does not resolve to an identity with membership in this Environment.

Requires capability env_identities.viewDeveloper Console
