User

The user object allows you to define and record details of all users in Oracle CRM On Demand, for example, name, position, contact details, manager, and so on. It enables queries to be run on all users, and enables an administrator to insert and update a user's profile.

Usage

The UserLoginId and UserSignInId fields must be used as follows:

• UserLoginId. Used for creating user records through the User Web service.
• UserSignInId. Used as the user name for logging in and authenticating using Web services. Also, used for queries, as using UserLoginId is not allowed for queries.

Starting with Oracle CRM On Demand Release 23, you can use the DefaultBookId and DefaultAnalyticsBookId fields respectively to access the default book and default analytics book for a user. In previous releases it was possible to access the default books through the DefaultBookName and DefaultAnalyticsBookName fields only.

A user can be associated with one or more divisions. You can associate users with divisions in two ways:

• From a division record, through the user child object
• From a user record, through the division child object

The first division that is associated with a user record is automatically specified as the primary division for the user, but you can change the primary division for the user through the PrimaryDivisionName field.
