Alfresco: retrieve user info from username

Question

I'm looking for APIs to fetch user info given a username.

I'm interested in Java API, serverside template/script root object, webscripts services, or even Share API.

Answer 1

• Java API: PersonService
• JavaScript & Temmplate (Repo-layer): person-Root Object (current user) or people.getPerson(username)
• REST API (org\alfresco\repository\person\person.get.desc.xml) : GET /api/people/{userName}

Answer 2

For JavaScript APIs you can refer this Person APIs

For All webscripts related to users you can check this link
