GUI wise we already have it no?
REST wise, I believe so.

What I'm wondering is, how does this play with the ability to plug in other
user databases?
In an ideal world I guess the GUI/REST interfaces should gracefully disable
themselves,
maybe with some plugins they can be read only, for others completely shut
down?

I mean, theoretically one user source does not have a reason to let you
browse the full
set of users, though it would be nice to, the same goes for the ability to
edit them.

Cheers
