    <p>This is an excellent question. I have checked <a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm" rel="nofollow">Fielding's chapter on REST</a>, the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html" rel="nofollow">HTTP spec</a> and the <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt" rel="nofollow">Basic auth RFC</a> and can't seem to find a definitive answer, but my best guess it that the authentication portion of the URI is not considered a part of resource identification. Meaning that you should pretend it is not there and use:</p> <pre><code>//site.com/users/test/ </code></pre> <p>As the URI for a single user. Here is my reasoning.</p> <ol> <li><p>Browser implementation - The auth portion of the URI (test:password@) is automatically hidden in my current versions of Chrome and Firefox and <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489" rel="nofollow">Internet Explorer denies direct input outright</a>.</p></li> <li><p>If the user:password@ portion made the resource URI unique, then every resource for every user would be unique. That just seems a little crazy overboard to me.</p></li> <li><p>You would never, ever want to include a username and password in an external reference like this:</p></li> </ol> <p><code>&lt;a href="https://admin:swordfish@site.com/users/"&gt;Log in as admin!&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>It seems to me that including authentication information in the URL is a hack that breaks statelessness and violates the first REST interface constraint (<a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm#sec_5_2_1_1" rel="nofollow">Identification of resources</a>) but it fills and need so we sweep it under the rug and pretend that it is not really part of the URL.</p>

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.
