## Remarks

The typed way to list users and groups. `users` gives each user's ID (`key`) and full name;
`groups` gives each group with its members (user IDs and group IDs). Includes groups of all
types, unlike [GetUserGroups](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/MFiles.IRPCVault/GetUserGroups/index.md).
