Hi Vipin, There is not much difference actually now, earlier it was planned that users type API shall be exclusive to handle x_portal_user table data and xusers API shall be for x_user table data. but Ranger is using mostly xusers API and from the same API, it accesses the x_portal_user table data as well. Developers are rarely adding any new endpoints in users API, but they do update it whenever required.
