Is there a way to achieve a multi-level list of managed users through standard rest api?

In a form page, i need to get list of users managed by the currently logged in user. I know how to do that, but i also need the users possibly managed by the first set of users(recursion).

What I would like to know is whether there is a way to achieve this that doesn't involve writing a rest extension in java.

Thanks in advance. Jose.
