You need to subscribe user data first.

3

Meteor.subscribe(‘users’);
but
undefined

4

Have you published the users on the server?

5

thanks for you help

but use
Meteor.publish(‘users’,function(){
return Meteor.users.find()
});
data is not safe

On the client, you have to wait until the subscription is ready.

:grinning:
i kown
but
other user password is public

You’re better off using a Meteor.method to get this sort of data from the server.
The only reason why you should subscribe to data is if you want it to be reactive.
