# Users
## List users
Get a list of users.
This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.
### For normal users
```
GET /users
```
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"username": "john_smith",
"name": "John Smith",
"state": "active",
"avatar_url": "http://localhost:3000/uploads/user/avatar/1/cd8.jpeg",
"web_url": "http://localhost:3000/john_smith"

e.g. when renaming the email address to some existing one.
## User deletion
Deletes a user. Available only for administrators.
This is an idempotent function, calling this function for a non-existent user id
still returns a status code `200 OK`.
The JSON response differs if the user was actually deleted or not.
In the former the user is returned and in the latter not.
