Crystal Enterprise User PlugIn Library

The Crystal Enterprise User PlugIn Library provides an interface through which an administrator can set the specific behavior of each user in the Enterprise system. For example, it can be used to change a user's password or specify the groups that a user belongs to.

The User plugin also allows you to manage user aliases. An alias is an alternative name that is automatically generated when a new Enterprise user is created or when a member of a third-party group is mapped to the system. A user can log on to the Enterprise system using the user name and password of any alias that exists in the UserAliases Collection.

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 User.dll:
