Can we modify XPATH query's path?

[goyalkritika]

Hi,

userMgr.findAuthorizables method has a built-in XPATH query. Is it possible to modify the root node for search in it?

Query looks something like - 

/jcr:root/home//element(*)[@jcr:primaryType='rep:User']

If I want to search under /home/users/a, can I make this change?

Hello @goyalkritika 

If you use case if to get specific users, you should probably make them members to a group. When you need this list, you can just get all members of this group.

I am doubtful you would be able to edit the query root

This is not possible. What do you want to achieve with this API call, for which you would need to tweak this query?
