Tell us what you are trying to do?
Pass user email to views and display the user information

I find it quite weird that you decided to include all types of users custom fields and metas, but excluded the email. Why?

Hi, if you want to display a specific User's information you can pass a value into Views using a shortcode attribute, then access that value in the View's Loop. For example:

[wpv-view name="View of Posts" useremail="noreply@toolset.com"]

You can hard-code an ID, like 12345, or you can set the useremail parameter using another shortcode. Then inside the Loop, you can access the useremail attribute like this:

The User's email is [wpv-attribute name='useremail'].

You can also filter the View by post author using a similar process. This process is called passing arguments into Views, and is described in this document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views

Let me know if you have questions about this, or if I have misunderstood your request.
