Specifying the current user

When making a SkyVault REST API call, your application might not know the user ID of the currently authenticated user. You can use the string -me- to represent that user in request URLs, and PUT and POST request bodies.

For example, assuming the currently authenticated user is fred.bloggs@yourcompany.com the following URL will return a list of site memberships for the currently authenticated user:

      https://api.alfresco.com/yourcompany.com/public/alfresco/versions/1/people/fred.bloggs@yourcompany.com/sites

Using the current user -me-, the following URL will return the same list of site memberships:

      https://api.alfresco.com/yourcompany.com/public/alfresco/versions/1/people/-me-/sites
