Looking in the people.post.json.js webscript it seems we don't read all the parameters.

Please feel free to raise an enhancement request in JIRA.

Thanks,

My problem on the add. (rtfm)
  on reading again it states on the post username, first, last, email and password.

but on the put it should allow all. I will open one.

So dumb question where is  people.post.json.js ?

[michaelc]

Found people.post.json.js  in alfresco\classes\alfresco\templates\org\alfresco\respository\person

I added

   var enableAccount = ((json.has("disableAccount") && json.get("disableAccount")) == false);
   if (json.has("enabled")) {
       if (json.get("enabled") == false){
           enableAccount = false;
       }
   }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

at about line 38

and I added at about 56

   if (json.has("skype"))
   {
      person.properties["skype"] = json.get("skype");
   }

works like a champ. one question is there a way to extend the alfresco library like the share library without doing it inside the war file ?

…is there a way to extend the alfresco library like the share library without doing it inside the war file ?

Yes, but use shared/classes/alfresco/extension instead of web-extension.
