Hi, Thanks for your response. I've done this using the 'raw' rest style, as I'm not familiar enough with the new solrj client. It would be quite nice to have a native solrj class for handling security mgt operations (add/delete users, roles etc.)..kind of like the CoreAdmin/CollectionAdmin/Configset etc.
