Remarks

p4 help users

users -- List Perforce users

p4 users [-l -a -r -c] [-m max] [user ...]

Lists all Perforce users or users that match the 'user' argument.
The report includes the last time that each user accessed the system.

The -m max flag limits output to the first 'max' number of users.

The -a flag includes service and operator users in the output.

The -l flag includes additional information in the output. The -l
flag requires 'super' access, which is granted by 'p4 protect'.

The -r and -c flags are only allowed on replica servers. When
-r is given only users who have used a replica are reported and
when -c is given only the user information from the central server
is reported. Otherwise on a replica server, the user list will
be slightly different from the master server as the user access times
will reflect replica usage or master usage whichever is newer.

Examples
To get the first 10 users that start with the letter 'A':
Copy
UsersCmdOptions opts = new UsersCmdOptions(UsersCmdFlags.None, 10);

IList<String> names = new List<String>();
names.Add("A*");

IList<User> users = Repository.getUsers(names, opts);
To get the users for 'Bob', 'Ted', 'Carol' and 'Alice':
Copy
UsersCmdOptions opts = new UsersCmdOptions(UsersCmdFlags.None, -1);

IList<String> names = new List<String>();
names.Add("Bob");
names.Add("Ted");
names.Add("Carol");
names.Add("Alice");

IList<User> users = Repository.getUsers(names, opts);
To get all the users (WARNING, will fetch all users from the repository):
Copy
UsersCmdOptions opts = new UsersCmdOptions(UsersCmdFlags.IncludeAll, -1);
IList<User> users = Repository.getUsers(null, opts);
