I think you have to make your own module for it...You could do alot more with that module also.

Hey Folks,
I found this answer to the exact question I wanted to ask, but it's been a year and I wanted to know if the answer is still "you can't do this"
Any help is appreciated

The user id is just the content object id, so use fetch (content,object,...)

Paul, the problem is that the fetch function you suggest fetches an ezcontentobject object, not the ezuser object. It seems that a custom fetch function would be the way to go.

How silly I am. Every user class has an ezuser attribute. By default, it is named user_account. Thus, to get the ezuser object with ID 785, simply do this:
{def $user=fetch( 'content', 'object', hash( 'object_id', 785 ) ).data_map.user_account.content}
(It's pretty cool that the eZ template language can interpret dotted function output, something PHP - the underlying "programming" language - cannot!)
Script start
Module start 'content'
Module end 'content'
Script end
