When running the dbt-metabase exposures command it fails when it hits an item referencing a deactivated user. In particular, this line returns 404, causing the whole script to crash:
Possible solutions:
1) try-catch this block and fill-in the details with a generic anonymous user
2) use instead the /api/user?include_deactivated=true endpoint to list all users once and search by ID. This endpoint has the advantage of also retrieving deactivated user's details, whilst the /api/user/:id one returns 404.
