User Management

User Management is a library that sits between the Liferay portal services and gCube portlets. The main functionality of the Library is to provide management of users, roles and organizations. It provides a layer of abstraction above the liferay services, hiding the configuration complexities of roles and organizations. The gcube requirement of roles in the scope of organization is achieved by creating a role with the organization name suffixed to it. The addition/removal of organization names to the role names are handled by the Library and are transparent to the application and portlets using the library.

The library exposes three interfaces:

  • User Manager
  • Role Manager
  • Group(Organization) Manager

These interfaces provide the functionalities necessary for CRUD operation on Users, Roles and Organizations and additional functionalities that organise users into Organizations and assigning/dismissal of roles.
