Crystal Enterprise UserGroup PlugIn Library

The Crystal Enterprise UserGroup PlugIn Library allows you to manage groups and their group associates. Each group may have three types of group associates that are related to it:

• group members (users)
• parent groups
• subgroups

Group members may be native Enterprise users, or they may be users whose third-party group has been mapped to the system. For information on mapping third-party groups, see Authentication plugins.

Note:    The User plugin allows you to add new users and to determine their group membership, whereas the UserGroup plugin allows you to add new groups and determine the users that belong to these groups. The user's group list and the group's user list are synchronized.

The diagram below illustrates the object model that is implemented by the UserGroup.dll:

For information on how to query for user group objects in the APS InfoStore, see Retrieving InfoObjects created with a desktop plugin.
