Essentially, what we need is a set of "routines" to be exposed so we can use an external interface to execute these services.

Examples:
User[ ] browseUsers(String token, boolean viewAll) — get all default confluence-users if viewAll == false ; get all registered users if viewAll == true (effectively getActiveUsers() and getAllUsers())
boolean deactivateUser(String token, String username) – deactivate a user
boolean reactivateUser(Strign token, String username) - reactivate a user

How can we access the above routines (and others if available) from outside of Confluence? (e.g., via SOAP calls)

Thanks
