User Entity

The User entity describes the User data implemented by the User Management module.

The User Fields

The User entity defines the following fields:

UserLoginName Describes the identification of a user in the system.  This field is entered when a user logs onto the application.
Password Describes the password for the user.  The password is saved in the database in an encrypted form, so it will be impossible to see the password of a user directly from the User table.
FailedLogins Describes the number of times a failed login has occurred for a specific user.  The field is reset to 0 after a successful login.  If login fails three times in a row, the UserStatus field is set to TooManyFailedLogins.
UserStatus Describes the status of the web user.  The field values are Active, Inactive, or TooManyFailedLogins.

Only active users will be allowed to enter the application.
LastLogin Describes the timestamp of the latest successful Login that the web user had.

Inheritance

The User entity inherits from the EditDialog pattern in the Plex FOUNDATION library.  Hereby, the EditSuite maintenance functions are implemented which can be used to implement basic Windows functionality for maintaining the User records.
