[MarkLogic Dev General] Retrieving a list of users

[Harry B.]

When I've done this, I use queries against the Security database to get the
info. You can use Query Console to get a handle on how data is structured
in the Security DB and I found great success with just using Xpath queries.

One thing I found difficult to do was distinguish app/real users from
system accounts, etc. The way I dealt with this was to add xml to the
sec:password-extra element that contained user details, what applications
they are users for, etc. The only downside, if it is one, is that you have
to invoke these queries against the Security DB...

I can give you some code examples, etc. if you have specific questions.
