The Redfish spec recently changed to allow users with the Login 
privilege to enumerate all BMC users.  Previously only the admin user 
could do this.  I disagree with this change and believe it is an 
unnecessary information exposure.  Details are in the Redfish forum post.

Are we okay with this?  Do we ask Redfish to change it back?  Please 
reply to this email or to the forum with your thoughts.
Thanks,
- Joseph
