[one-users] RPC client: how to determine my user id?

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi Carsten,

You are right, there are some operations that require the user ID and only
oneadmin can know it.
For now, those operations will remain only accessible to oneadmin. In the
short term, we want to improve the overall user management (to add groups
and, maybe, permissions) and we'll address this issue at that moment.

Thanks and regards,
Carlos.
