Trying to get user info using iControl REST on 11.6 for a local user created in a partition other than Common

We created a partition called "Users" and create all local users there. I want to see if a user name already exists using REST. It seems I can only get info on accounts created inthe default /Common ...

I believe users exist only in the common partition.

 

Config wise, they all go into bigip_user.conf. The reason being, I believe, that a user could potentially have access to multiple partitions, and so they need to exist at the root level (Common).
