Box API: Get_managed_users returning all users

Using the Box 1.0 REST API, I am trying to work with the functions in SOAP UI.

The API doc for get_managed_users with user_id=12345 (internal id retrieved with get_user_id call correctly) is returning all the users. The docs say that would be the case if you do not specify a user_id value. But my full command is: (Token and API key changed to protect the clueless)

https://www.box.com/api/1.0/rest?user_id=27360&auth_token=blahbalhblah1234&action=get_managed_users&api_key=someKeyYouShouldNotSee

Now I could work with the complete result list, but that won't scale as we get thousands of users into the system.

I can make a call with edit_managed_user, using the same user_id value and the change is reflected in the UI, and in the next get_managed_users call. Thus I do have the correct user_id value, I would so assume.

I tried [email protected] as the user_id value as well, and get the entire list back. This leads me to believe that somehow I am sending user_id wrong, but I just do not see it.

Any hints? Why, with what seems like a valid user_id value is it acting like it is absent or incorrect?

Most likely you have either called this method with an invalid user_id, or one that is not in your set of managed users. Can you double check that the user comes back in your list of already managed users?
