Is there an API that will provide a list of all the users or better a
class of users on the system?

Not sure what defines a user "class".? There is for Group Profiles however. There is the *GRPMBR selection of DSPUSRPRF [TYPE parameter]. Also...

From a "Search:" of the IBM i 7.1 InfoCenter on the following tokens:
user profile list api

The List Authorized Users (QSYLAUTU) API puts a list of authorized system users into a user space.

The Open List of Authorized Users (QGYOLAUS) API provides information about the authorized users of the system. It returns a list of authorized user names that meet the selection criteria specified by the caller of the API and information about those users. This API provides information similar to the Display Authorized Users (DSPAUTUSR) command and the Retrieve Authorized Users (QSYRAUTU) API.

Differences between QSYRAUTU and QGYOLAUS

The QGYOLAUS API returns the same information that the Retrieve Authorized Users (QSYRAUTU) API provides, but takes a complete snapshot at once and allows subsequent records to be obtained through the Get List Entries (QGYGTLE) API.
