The manage-users page currently shows all users in the system. This won't scale if there are 100,000 users. We need a scalable solution:

- Show only the first X users, such as first 50 users (sorted alphabetically)
- The protocol should return an object with a NextLocation (and possibly PreviousLocation) pointer. These objects would point to the next and previous pages:

NextLocation=http://localhost:8080/users?start=50

- Render "Next Page" and "Previous Page" links if those properties are defined.

Also, it would be useful to be able to jump to a particular user. For example if the admin knows they want to delete the account of "Zarna" they shouldn't have to scroll through all users to get there. I imagine a dialog that allows the admin to select a user, and then it jumps straight to the profile page for that user. It could require an exact user id for now (more advanced would be allowing a search on the user's name or other properties).

The list has been sorted now and I'm working on paginating the results.

From an admin's perspective, when users > 100 showing the first 50 is of no use.  We typically go in there to reset a specific user's password, so having a simple lookup facility would be awesome.

Ok, will take that in mind, thanks

Client side changes for pagination. Will open a separate defect with respect to filtering out or searching for names but I don't think I'll get to that before 1.0 releases.

The pagination parameters can easily be changed by modifying the URI.
