Hi @Tahir_Zaman , have you checked out what the [Swagger API](https://eleven.openemr.io/a/openemr/swagger/index.html#/standard/get_api_user) offers?

Yes I see the APIs .  
okay so I want to make a app for my Openemr instance like it will have offline functionality but first i need to know things like how API are working and for what purposes Fhir API is used and for what standard API is being used .  
for the starting . i have created the login mechanism and is working okay.  
but i want to know that can we achieve like all users like admin docter or any role user logs in and we can get their name and role displayed on the dashbaord screen and which API we will use and how?
