User Members

NFX Class Library

[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

The User type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	User(Credentials, AuthenticationToken, String, Rights)	Initializes a new instance of the User class
	User(Credentials, AuthenticationToken, UserStatus, String, String, Rights)	Initializes a new instance of the User class

Methods

	Name	Description
	___update_status	Framework-internal. Do not call
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Invalidate	Makes user invalid
	IsInRole	Determines whether the current principal belongs to the specified role. This method implements IPrincipal and has little application in NFX framework context as NFX permissions are more granular than just boolean. This method really checks user kind (User/Admin/Sys). Confusion comes from the fact that what Microsoft calls role really is just a single named permission - a role is a named permission set in NFX.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnDeserialization
	ToString	(Overrides Object ToString .)

Properties

	Name	Description
	AuthenticationType	Implementation of IIdentity interface
	AuthToken
	Credentials
	Description
	Fake	Returns default instance of the fake user that has no rights
	Identity	Implementation of IPrincipal interface
	IsAuthenticated	Implementation of IIdentity interface. Checks to see if user is not in invalid status
	Item	Authorizes user to specified permission. Note: this authorization call returns AccessLevel object that may contain a complex data structure. The final assertion of user's ability to perform a certain action is encapsulated in Permission.Check() method. Call Permission.AuthorizeAndGuardAction(MemberInfo, ISession) to guard classes and methods from unauthorized access
	Name
	Rights	Returns data bag that contains user rights. This is a framework-only internal property which should not be used by application developers. This bag may get populated fully-or-partially by ISecurityManager implementation. Use User[permission] indexer or Application.SecurityManager.Authorize() to obtain AccessLevel
	Status
	StatusTimeStampUTC	Captures timestamp when this user was set to current status (created/set rights) Security managers may elect to reftech user rights after some period
