<h1 id="generating-an-eprints-user-list">Generating an EPrints user
list</h1>
<h2 id="problem">Problem</h2>
<p>The depositor value for an EPrints uses the EPrints Users values. I
don’t think it is a good idea to expose this part of the REST API. On
the other hand users are not frequently added or remove and EPrints
provides an easy way to dump a user list which we can leverage when
resolving the EPrint XML with who created the item.</p>
<h2 id="solution">Solution</h2>
<p>Authenticate into your EPrints repository as a repository
administrator. Click on the “Admin” link, Click on the “Search Users”
button, Check all the User Type check boxes and press the search button.
This will give you a results list. For the export option from the
results pick JSON (or the whatever format you like working with). The
resulting page can be saved and is available to integrate into your
application when decoding the EPrint XML values for
<code>userid</code>.</p>
