    <p>I am trying to get the contents of "User Information List". This list can only be acessed as an admin user. I have a method that logs in as the admin user and then does the following:</p> <pre><code>var xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); var query = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Query"); query.InnerXml = "&lt;Where&gt;&lt;Eq&gt;&lt;FieldRef Name='ContentType' /&gt;&lt;Value Type='Choice'&gt;Person&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Eq&gt;&lt;/Where&gt;"; XmlElement viewFields = xmlDoc.CreateElement("ViewFields"); viewFields.InnerXml = "&lt;FieldRef Name='Title' /&gt;"; XmlElement queryOptions = xmlDoc.CreateElement("QueryOptions"); var items = ws.GetListItems("User Information List", "", query, viewFields, string.Empty, queryOptions, "8A391AE3-2783-489B-8BDF-D2AE971D73CD"); </code></pre> <p>My list Name is Correct and so is the GUID I got htat from below via SharePoint Explorer</p> <pre><code>&lt;List DocTemplateUrl="" DefaultViewUrl="/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx" MobileDefaultViewUrl="" ID="{8A391AE3-2783-489B-8BDF-D2AE971D73CD}" Title="User Information List" Description="All people."

Still not sure what is wrong with my initial query so the question stands...</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
