I disagree. Reading Rich’s answer would lead you to believe that “| rest /servicesNS” is more restrictive than “| rest /services” by limiting the scope to the specified namespace. In fact, it is the other way around. Or, more precisely, “| rest /services” is equivalent to “| rest /servicesNS/<currentUser>/<defaultApp>”, which implicitly limits the results to what is visible from the current user running in the default app context, which is usually the search app. We can expand the namespace to include more results by converting the call to “| rest /servicesNS/-/-“, or we can change the namespace to an explicit user/app context with “| rest /servicesNS/<arbitraryUser>/<arbitraryApp>”. It is a subtle but important difference. For some global system-wide resources, the results will be the same from every user/app context. In those cases, the call is usually shortened from “| rest /servicesNS/-/-” to “| rest /services”. So, every time I see “| rest /services”, I translate that in my head to be “| rest /servicesNS/<currentUser>/<defaultApp>”
