Bug description

When a file is collaboratively edited, a user might want to see the author names in files_version. They can do this only, when they are admin however.

The reason is the API call in:

const { data } = await axios.get(generateOcsUrl(`/cloud/users/${this.version.author}`))

It returns data on any user only for admins, but for ordinary users it shows information only about themselves.

It was implemented like this in #44109 but I am doubtful that this is intentional behaviour.

Steps to reproduce

  1. files_versions is enabled
  2. A file is shared among users
  3. The file is edited by two or more users
  4. As an ordinary (non-admin) uses, open the files interface and open the Versions tab

Expected behavior

All author names (at least of still existing users) are visible.
