Hi,
here you can find some answers to your question http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/other-apis/cant-add-person-restful-api-08132012-1902
About the max users limit, it depends on the type of configuration: the more users you want, the more complex and scaled architecture you need.
About the number of folders it is a handy rule of thumb to have less than 1000 subfolders inside each folder: this happens because if you go over that limit you're likely to have performance issues.

Regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for your reply, that's what I'm afraid of.
Now to handle those limit I need to restructure user_home
- how to not autocreate folder in user_home when using people/api
- create folder and assign user to that folder using webscript

Thanks,
Cornelis

alfresco repository support create user home folder under other folder and assign user to that folder,But it seems that webscript api doese not support this feature,you can write a webscript api to implement this function.

Hi Kaynezhang,

I haven't search that part yet, thanks for your hint.

I find out 1 api to create folder, will explore this first
<blockquote>http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/cmissamples/createfolder</blockquote>

but I'm still not sure how to deleteTree, I create following thread to discuss this.

Still regarding with adding user with people api (http://localhost/alfresco/service/api/people)
I found out few things that haven't solved yet

Step that I have done with web script
a. create USR01 with people api
b. delete /User Homes/USR01
c. create folder /User Homes/Testing/USR01
d. assign permission to /User Homes/Testing/USR01 using node.setPermission("All", user );

Issue:
1. when I login using this USR01 from http://localhost/alfresco, Alfresco will auto create folder again in /User Homes/USR01
2. USR01 can view and download items from other user, which I don't want it to happen.

I suspect I must set User Homes value somewhere.

Any Hint?

Thanks in advance

You can try setting inherit permission to false on User Homes space.
