This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a View of Users that should display information about only one User - the current logged-in User. However the View is currently showing all Users.
Solution: The Query Filter in this View requires you to use a shortcode attribute to pass in a User ID or IDs. If you do not pass in the ids shortcode attribute, all Users will be displayed. See shortcode-attribute.png.
You have added this View using a View widget in the Входящие и Исходящие widget panel (see cannot-use-widget.png). This will not work, because you cannot add a shortcode attribute to a View widget. Instead, you should use a Custom HTML widget to add this View in a wpv-view shortcode. Then pass the current User's ID into the Query Filter using the wpv-current-user shortcode and the users shortcode attribute:
[wpv-view name="saydbar-vkhodyashhie-i-iskhodyashhie" users="[wpv-current-user format='meta' info='id']"]

Hello, since you only want to display information about one User, there really isn't any need for a View...unless you have already created this View for another purpose and you want to reuse it. Regardless, let's discuss why it doesn't work. The Query Filter in this View requires you to use a shortcode attribute to pass in a User ID or IDs. If you do not pass in the ids shortcode attribute, all Users will be displayed. See shortcode-attribute.png.
I believe you have added this View using a View widget in the Входящие и Исходящие widget panel (see cannot-use-widget.png). This will not work, because you cannot add a shortcode attribute to a View widget. Instead, you should use a Custom HTML widget to add this View in a wpv-view shortcode. Then pass the current User's ID into the Query Filter using the wpv-current-user shortcode and the users shortcode attribute:
[wpv-view name="saydbar-vkhodyashhie-i-iskhodyashhie" users="[wpv-current-user format='meta' info='id']"]
This technique is called passing arguments to Views, and you can find more information about it at the link below.

Let me know if you have questions about that.
