Comparison with GET /users

Endpoint	Source	Fields Returned	Use Case
GET /auth/profile	JWT token payload	id, email, name, role_id	Quick profile info from token
GET /users	Database query	All user fields including password, salt, image_path, timestamps	Full profile with additional details

This endpoint extracts profile information directly from the JWT token payload without querying the database. For the most up-to-date user information (including image_path and timestamps), use GET /users instead.

Use this endpoint when you need basic user information quickly without a database query, such as for displaying the user’s name and email in the UI.
