zeekayandHanzo Dev 60055ec45d address IAM by its nouns, and present a credential when doing it
The five user verbs collapsed onto the user collection and the key half went to
the key endpoint, so this client asks the same questions at the addresses that
answer them:

  get-user?accessKey=  -> GET  /v1/iam/keys/principal   (envelope)
  get-users?field=     -> GET  /v1/iam/users            (the page itself)
  get-user?owner&email -> GET  /v1/iam/users            (the page itself)
  add-user             -> POST /v1/iam/users            (the record itself)

Three things follow from the move rather than accompany it.

The credential travels in the Authorization header. A query clientId is not a
credential IAM reads, so every one of these reads would have arrived
unauthenticated; the plugin installs the application credentials it already
holds in Config where the client is built, and each read presents them.

The collection narrows on the address and on nothing else. LookupByAttribute
answers "email" and refuses any other attribute instead of sending a filter that
would be ignored — an ignored filter answers with the org's first page, and
every row on it reads as a match.

EnsureUser reads before it writes. The create refuses a duplicate username and
admits a duplicate address, so creating first would file a second row under one
address and leave both unresolvable by it. A username lost to a racing provision
still resolves by the address the two agree on.

Where an address names two accounts the answer is a refusal, not the first row:
that choice is how somebody acts under a colleague's identity. The team invite
asks for two for the same reason and stays pending when it sees them.

A resolved key carries the account the key endpoint names — owner/name, unique
across tenants where a bare username is unique only inside one — and an
unresolved one yields no user at all.
