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 ...

Thanks, I was afraid of that being the case. I also looked at using SOAP, but ran in to the same issue. I was following the idea on https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-user-account-administration-11-6-0/2.html where they recommended a "Users" partition.

    I would recommend not using local users, personally :). Any reason you can't use ldap/AD or radius?
