Re: Associating Form Data with Users

I just have one final question. The method suggested by Thorsten
appears to work. But, is the attached user object an accessible filter
parameter in the API now ? For instance, I don't see it listed as a
part of the actual model in the API. How would I go about accessing
it ?
