  count=1780,
  next_page_link="https://dev.zendesk.com/api/v2/users.json?page=5&per_page=1",
  previous_page_link="https://dev.zendesk.com/api/v2/users.json?page=3&per_page=1"
  [
    <Zendesk2::User
      id=217761652,
      url="https://dev.zendesk.com/api/v2/users/217761652.json",
      external_id=nil,
      name="Guy Dude",
      ...
