User management with REST API

Hey admin guy, 

you are on the exact right track, all of your points are possible just replace <module> to Users instead of Accounts or any other module used in the examples. Let me link the relevant documentation on that: 

1. Create a User (POST)

2. Update a User (PUT or Replace, PATCH or selective update)

3. DELETE a User (DELETE)

4. GET A User (GET)

5. GET All Users (GET)

`You can use the parameter 'max_results'  At a maximum, it will return 1000 records.  To workaround this issue, I recommend using the 'offset' functionality.  Your initial offset would be 0, then 1000, and so on, until all records are returned.

6. GET All Users with Pagination. Like only 100 records at a time.

-> See 5 

7. Filter Users with some criteria. First Name, Last Name, User Name, Email Address, etc.,

Thanks for that quick response, Dennis!

I'm still looking to find answers on two other questions.

1. What is an Account and how does it differ from User?

2. The Links you shared above talk about the API in the context of Accounts. E.g. POST takes two parameters name and description. Do both Accounts and Users resources take exact same parameters? It would be really helpful if you could share the schema of User resource.
