OmniGroupServer 12.13

# GetUsers

Lists users contained in each repository, or all repositories in GroupServerDefaultRepositories if none are specified.

You can filter the user list:

- Use the `Repository` parameter to restrict the query to specific repositories.
- Use the `Matching` parameter to match specific user names. You can use question mark (`?`) and asterisk (`*`) wildcards in your search string.
- Use the `FieldName` and `FieldValue` parameters to return only those users that have the field specified by `FieldName` with the value specified by `FieldValue`.
- Use the `GroupName` parameter to return only those users who are a member of the specified group.

    /action=GetUsers[&Repository= ]
                    [&Matching= ]
                    [&FieldName=
                     &FieldValue= ]
                    [&AltUsernames=true/false]
                   [[&GroupName= ]
                    [&NestedGroups=true/false]]

## Response

The following is an example XML response to `action=getusers&repository=NT,eRoom`

    <responsedata>
       <Users>JohnSmith</Users>
       <Users>JaneBrown</Users>
       ...
       <UserCount>28</UserCount>

       <Error>Repository 'eRoom' not recognized</Error>
    </responsedata>

If you set `GroupServerShowAlternativeNames=TRUE`, the response might be:

    <responsedata>
       <Users>JohnSmith</Users>
       <Users>JaneBrown</Users>
       <Users alias_for="JohnSmith">JSmith</Users>
       <Users alias_for="JohnSmith">JohnS</Users>
       <Users alias_for="JohnSmith">JS</Users>
       <Users alias_for="JaneBrown">>JBrown</Users>
       <Users alias_for="JaneBrown">JaneB</Users>
       <Users alias_for="JaneBrown">JB</Users> -->
       ...
       <UserCount>28</UserCount>
