+=====
+Users
+=====
+
+The REST API can be used to add and remove users, add and remove user
+addresses, and change their preferred address, passord, or name. Users are
+different than members; the latter represents an email address subscribed to a
+specific mailing list. Users are just people that Mailman knows about.
+
+There are no users yet.
+
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users')
+ http_etag: "..."
+ start: 0
+ total_size: 0
+
+When there are users in the database, they can be retrieved as a collection.
+::
+
+ >>> from zope.component import getUtility
+ >>> from mailman.interfaces.usermanager import IUserManager
+ >>> user_manager = getUtility(IUserManager)
+
+ >>> anne = user_manager.create_user('anne@example.com', 'Anne Person')
+ >>> transaction.commit()
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users')
+ entry 0:
+ created_on: 2005-08-01T07:49:23
+ http_etag: "..."
+ password: None
+ real_name: Anne Person
+ user_id: 1
+ http_etag: "..."
+ start: 0
+ total_size: 1
+
+The user ids match.
+
+ >>> json = call_http('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users')
+ >>> json['entries'][0]['user_id'] == anne.user_id
+ True
+
+
+Creating users via the API
+==========================
+
+New users can be created through the REST API. To do so requires the initial
+email address for the user, and optionally the user's full name and password.
+::
+
+ >>> transaction.abort()
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users', {
+ ... 'email': 'bart@example.com',
+ ... 'real_name': 'Bart Person',
+ ... 'password': 'bbb',
+ ... })
+ content-length: 0
+ date: ...
+ location: http://localhost:9001/3.0/users/2
+ server: ...
+ status: 201
+
+The user exists in the database.
+::
+
+ >>> user_manager.get_user('bart@example.com')
+ <User "Bart Person" (2) at ...>
+
+It is also available via the location given in the response.
+
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users/2')
+ created_on: 2005-08-01T07:49:23
+ http_etag: "..."
+ password: None
+ real_name: Bart Person
+ user_id: 2
+
+Because email addresses just have an ``@`` sign in then, there's no confusing
+them with user ids. Thus, a user can be retrieved via its email address.
+
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users/bart@example.com')
+ created_on: 2005-08-01T07:49:23
+ http_etag: "..."
+ password: None
+ real_name: Bart Person
+ user_id: 2
+
+
+Missing users
+=============
+
+It is of course an error to attempt to access a non-existent user, either by
+user id...
+::
+
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users/99')
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: 404 Not Found
+
+...or by email address.
+::
+
+ >>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/users/zed@example.org')
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: 404 Not Found
