Deal with user limit from REST API

[dhunink]

The REST API allows to retrieve only 100 portal users at once (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#/Users/02r30000009q000000/). This is an issue, since several functions need a complete list of all users. Furthermore, this is blocking the addUsersToGroupFromExcel functionality, since no complete list of all users is available

I think i have solved it for now:) But the code (especial the loop) is not very elegant

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    currDef = currDef.then (function(response) {
        ...
        if(response.nextStart < 0) {
            return users;
        }
        else {
            return inLoop(response.nextStart);
        }
    });
}

Looks like currently only 100 are actually added to the UI, which makes the scripts fail. Could you have a look asap?

There is no other way than a loop to get more... This is by design (just as with features in a featureservice, or content, or groups...etc..

I know. The problem whoever is the loop itself: it isn't performing the way it should right now. Making to many calls and (more important) returning the result of the first call, instead of returning the result off all calls
