About Remote User Operations
The PRC IUserManager and IUserGroupManager interfaces in the IDK allow you to leverage the portal's user hierarchy.
You can query for the current user's ID and group information, create
new groups, and manage group membership.
Portal users are organized into groups and sub-groups. This hierarchy
allows administrators to customize the portal display for specific
audiences and assign object security for collections of users.
Note: The PRC IUser* interfaces provide access to administrative
functionality related to users in the portal. To access user settings
and user profile information, use the methods in the com.plumtree.remote.portlet
and com.plumtree.remote.util packages. To manipulate user objects,
create an Object Manager of type ObjectClass.User.
