Please try this

public function rules()
{

    $id = $this->request->get('id') ? ',' . $this->request->get('id') : '';

    return [
        'name' => 'required',
        'mobile' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required|unique:users,email'.$id,
        'usercategory' => 'required',
        'username' => 'required|unique:users,username'.$id,
    ];
