Create a token for an admin or manager (with the capability notes:view at system level), then replace the courseid and userid values with 0. You should retrieve all the site notes for the users in the system. Now, as admin or manager use courseid = 0 and a valid userid (with notes at course level) you should see all the notes at site and course level for that user.
