Notes¶

Author users (type 1) can upload, edit, and manage documents based on their permissions.
Read-only users (type 2) can only view and download documents; they cannot upload or edit.
Changing a user to read-only does not remove their existing document ownership or folder memberships.
The ReadOnlyUser attribute in GetUser responses reflects the current user type.

GetUser - Get current user properties including user type
ChangeUserStatus - Enable or disable a user account
CreateUser - Create a new user with a specified type
