Publish certain information for Meteor.users and more information for Meteor.user
Right from Meteor documentation: Meteor.publish(“userData”, function () { return Meteor.users.find({_id: this.userId}, {fields: {‘other’: 1, ‘things’: 1}}); }); And also: Meteor.publish(“allUserData”, function () { return Meteor.users.find({}, {fields: {‘nested.things’: 1}}); }); Hope this helps.
