Getting shared power-up data from another user

Referencing: Getting and Setting Data

When I store data in the member scope with visibility shared, how am I supposed to retrieve this data from the t object when I'm logged in as another user?

 

Example

Logged in as user1: I store something via

t.set('member', 'shared', key, value)

Then, logged in as user2 (admin on the board): I want to retrieve the value stored for user1. Since I've set visibility to shared, I expect this to be possible. The docs also state:

A visibility of shared means that any Trello member who can see the object it is stored against (determined by Scope) can see the data.

However, I can only get my own data using

t.get('member', 'shared', key, defaultValue)

 

Is there something I'm missing here? I've also tried to pass a user id instead of 'member', but this gives me an error: "Card not found or not on current board (Command: data)" since it treats the first value as a card id.

 

Any help appreciated,
Thank you

In general i've found it best to use the rest api for interacting with trello data, even within the powerups. That said, I haven't seen a good way route for interacting with a different user's plugin data either.  The board approach isn't a bad idea as long as your user count isn't too high.  There's always the option of creating a small data set wherever you are hosting your powerup to store lightweight user data.
