Unable to authenticate using basic authentication using WP REST API 2.0

I have a problem with basic authentication.

Trying to send a GET request using Postman (chrome plugin) using the following URL: http: // _ MY_WEBSITE_URL_ / wp-json / wp / v2 / users / 3

The username and password field is populated with the user credentials of the admin site.

The error I am getting is:

{
    "code": "rest_user_cannot_view",
    "message": "Sorry, you cannot view this resource.",
    "data": {
        "status": 401
    }
}

I tried basic authentication with wp_remote_request from another site and with CURL too, but the results are the same every time.

User with id 3 exists, I checked it. If I want to list all the users, I get only those who have messages.

I activated the necessary plugins: WP REST API , Basic JSON Authentication .

Wordpress: 4.4.2
