User management 

Users can be managed using the UserManager which is injected from the ServerContainer:

namespace OCA\MyApp\AppInfo ; use \OCP\AppFramework\App ; use \OCA\MyApp\Service\UserService ; class Application extends App { public function __construct ( array $urlParams = array ()){ parent :: __construct ( 'myapp' , $urlParams ); $container = $this -> getContainer (); * Controllers $container -> registerService ( 'UserService' , function ( $c ) { return new UserService ( $c -> query ( 'UserManager' ) $container -> registerService ( 'UserManager' , function ( $c ) { return $c -> query ( 'ServerContainer' ) -> getUserManager ();

Creating users 

Creating a user is done by passing a username and password to the create method:

Modifying users 

Users can be modified by getting a user by the userId or by a search pattern. The returned user objects can then be used to:

Delete them

Set a new password

Disable/Enable them

Get their home directory

namespace OCA\MyApp\Service ; class UserService { private $userManager ; public function __construct ( $userManager ){ $this -> userManager = $userManager ; public function delete ( $userId ) { return $this -> userManager -> get ( $userId ) -> delete (); // recoveryPassword is used for the encryption app to recover the keys public function setPassword ( $userId , $password , $recoveryPassword ) { return $this -> userManager -> get ( $userId ) -> setPassword ( $password , $recoveryPassword ); public function disable ( $userId ) { return $this -> userManager -> get ( $userId ) -> setEnabled ( false ); public function getHome ( $userId ) { return $this -> userManager -> get ( $userId ) -> getHome ();

User session information 

To login, logout or getting the currently logged in user, the UserSession has to be injected from the ServerContainer:

namespace OCA\MyApp\AppInfo ; use \OCP\AppFramework\App ; use \OCA\MyApp\Service\UserService ; class Application extends App { public function __construct ( array $urlParams = array ()){ parent :: __construct ( 'myapp' , $urlParams ); $container = $this -> getContainer (); * Controllers $container -> registerService ( 'UserService' , function ( $c ) { return new UserService ( $c -> query ( 'UserSession' ) $container -> registerService ( 'UserSession' , function ( $c ) { return $c -> query ( 'ServerContainer' ) -> getUserSession (); // currently logged in user, userId can be gotten by calling the // getUID() method on it $container -> registerService ( 'User' , function ( $c ) { return $c -> query ( 'UserSession' ) -> getUser ();

Then users can be logged in by using:

namespace OCA\MyApp\Service ; class UserService { private $userSession ; public function __construct ( $userSession ){ $this -> userSession = $userSession ; public function login ( $userId , $password ) { return $this -> userSession -> login ( $userId , $password ); public function logout () { $this -> userSession -> logout ();
