sv:user

User nodes are located in the external repository (sv:externalPrincipalRepository) or in user container (sv:userContainer) nodes. They have no children.

The user nodes correspond to the users defined in the directories.

User nodes implement some of the functionality in JCR level 2. It is possible to change some of the properties or add properties to a user.

SiteVision Utility API tip!

Current sv:user can be looked up via PortletContextUtil.getCurrentUser
The DirectoryUtil interface exposes a set of methods for searching a specific directory and getting a sv:user by its DN.
The sv:userIdentity for a sv:user can be looked up via UserIdentityUtil.getUserIdentity
The LinkRenderer interface can be used to render a link for a sv:user (a mailto link or a link to the profile page of the sv:user's sv:userIdentity).
