User object

An individual with a login account defined at the facility level.

Usage

Users have access rights to objects within an eRoom based on their member rights in the eRoom. A member can have one of these three types of rights:

• Observer. Can keep up with what is happening in an eRoom, but cannot participate in it.

• Participant. Can create new items, and read and edit other member's items as allowed by access control settings for any particular item. Most eRoom members have Participant rights.

• Coordinator. Has full access to all content in the eRoom. Can change access lists, release editing reservations, and delete eRooms.

If a member is part of an eRoom both because a Coordinator specifically added him as a member and because he is part of a group that is a member of the eRoom, his effective role within the eRoom is whichever of the following has greater access rights:

• The role specifically assigned to the member, that is, the primary role.

• The highest role assigned to the set of groups that contain the member, that is, the group role.

Members of the facility who are not members of a particular eRoom have neither a primary role nor group role within that eRoom.

Use User objects to perform such tasks as the following:

• Find information about the user, such as login name, email address, how many eRooms the user is a member of, whether or not the user can create eRooms and edit member lists, and the last time the user logged into a facility.

• Delete the user from the Facility's member list.
