[amit1rana]

The code returns IRoom instance which is missing the creator information.

let myRoom = read.getRoomReader().getDirectByUsernames(usernames);
console.log("Room creator:"+ (directMessageRoom as IRoom).creator);  //undefined

Hi @amit1rana, thanks for creating the issue.

In Rocket.Chat, direct rooms don't have the creator value, that's a normal behavior. More specific, if you look at the code, you can see that DMs don't have the property u set, so indeed they don't have a creator propertie. That way, there's actually no issue happening in this case. Hope that information helps you out! Feel free to ask any question if you want to.
