URL for User Content
https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith
Description
The user's content are items either in the home folder for the user, e.g. /content/users/<username>, or in a subfolder of the home folder with the given folder ID. Multilevel folders are not supported. You can also see the Quick reference topic for additional information on this.
Items in a folder are stored by reference and are not physically in a folder. Rather, they're stored as links to the original item, e.g. /content/items/<itemId>.

Accessible only to the owning user or to the administrator of the organization if the user is a member of one.
