We are developping a java client application which allows you access Alfresco repository. I wanted to know if it is possible to look for users with webscripts. For example, I want to retrieve users so that people can share documents with who they want.
How can I do that? Is it possible to have this users with openCMIS (I know that there are ACL in openCMIS, but didn't find anything about looking for users).
The Share user Admin console is built using web scripts so yes you can use those scripts or roll your own if they are not quite right.
You can also use CMIS but it will not know about the quirks of "people" since as I understand it its a file / folder paradigm. I'm sure you can do quite a lot though.
