Codeigniter Shield Banning users?

Hi,
i am looking at this userguide https://shield.codeigniter.com/user_mana...ing_users/
it doesn't make sense cause where do you put the user_id to know which user to ban? The function doesn't show any user id. so if I run this function how will it know what user to ban?
Thanks,
Shawn`

In the sample code, $user is a User Entity. It knows user_id.

You can get a User Entity from the User Provider.

So I would get the user like this?

Code:

$users = auth()->getProvider();

$user = $users->findById(123);

Yes.

Ok, thanks very much. Makes sense now.

Updated the docs. See the Note:
