Comment (by christinavoudouris):

 Hey, I looked up the users endpoint in the docs, and you can include or
 exclude users by ID:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/users/#list-users

 I haven't tried it with users specifically, but I know you can also do the
 same thing with posts and pages. I think that may work for you?

 Replying to [ticket:56166 marijnboekel]:
 > I'm using the REST Api to fetch users. The logged in user should only
 have access to some specific user ID's.
 >
 > I'm trying to deny access to certain users by using the
 {{{user_has_cap}}} filter, but cannot get it to work.
 >
 > After reading through the code from {{{WP_REST_Users_Controller}}} i
 found that the function {{{get_item_permissions_check}}} uses the AND
 {{{&&}}} operator, while i think it should be OR {{{||}}}? The {{{!
 count_user_posts( $user->ID, $types )}}} is always false (assuming the
 user has posts), so regardless of what i do in the {{{user_has_cap}}}, i
 cannot deny access.
