The REST API is great!
It would be even better if functions like the following would be available:
- Import Photo to user objects
- Manager external users like
-- check if external user exists
-- check status (like last login) of external user
-- trigger reset of password for external user
-- remove external users
- Set subscribe for folder (to automate creation)
All in all, it would be great if the REST API allows to do all tasks available in the admin console

Good idea Mathias - noted.
Hi,
I’m really interested in the ability to use REST API to get informations, like :
User’s last connection
Size of the personal folders
external users details
...
I want to emphasize the importance for CLI based user management. With a large user base the web admin page is not the best way to do things any more. For me the following use cases are of special interest:
Deprovisioning of external and disabled LDAP users:
1) If an external user hat not logged in for X month: send an email and, if he does not react to this mail, delete the account.
2) Create a list of disabled LDAP users with the last login time and a list of shared data via API.
3) Delete disabled users via API based on a CSV file created with step 2).
With Filr running for several years now about 5% of our users should be cleaned up. However, without an API function to delete users this is not an easy task.
