API Issue - Getusers

[dh42]

I am having an issue trying to get all of the customer accounts from my shop via the api. I have an api account set up with a profile that allows all permissions to the api user. When I send over a request to Getusers I get this returned. 

result=error;message=Invalid Permissions: API action "getusers" is not allowed

I cannot figure out why, other api methods like Getclients work, but getusers does not. 

whmcs version 7.8.3

users would only apply to v8 or later... if you're still on v7.8, then clients are what you should be looking for and so getclients is what you should be using.

That is what I settled with in the end. It was just confusing since I assume the docs are wrong, they say getusers has been available since v1.  https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/getusers/

I think it's more a case of that's v1 of that API code... though I can see the inconsistency because if an old API is updated or deprecated for v8, then it's version number gets moved to 8.0
