User Management
Unless you enable anonymous access, all users must authenticate themselves through HTTP Basic Authentication.
Note that all users have the same permissions (with regard to the enabled plugins, see below). If you want to have multiple users with different permissions, you must run multiple REST remotes on different ports.
Plugins
Endpoint URLs are provided through plugins, which can be enabled or disabled as required. See the plugin description below for the available URLs.
