Researchers

Most of the time Researchers should be managed through the GUI. Usually we only need programmatic control of Researcher resources to verify that a user listed as a technician for an instrument is properly listed and to grab an email when alert a particular user.

Getting a list of Researchers

lims <- Lims("~/.clarityrc')

# get a data.frame of users
r <- lims$get_researchers()
r
