[midPoint] Workflow API access

[Petr Gašparík]

Hi Pavol,
I have interesting question on my mind :
What other functionality, accessible from GUI, is not accessible via REST?

So far I used to tell to potential customers that every functionality from
GUI is also accessible from the REST interface.

Best regards, Petr
