User Manager (.NET)
You add users to a Relativity environment to provide individuals with access to it. After creating users, you can add them to groups and assign permissions to the groups in various workspaces. For more information, see Users in the Relativity Documentation site.
The User Manager API exposes methods that provide the following functionality:
- Supports CRUD operations on users.
- Helper methods for retrieving user types and groups to associate with users.
- Helper methods for retrieving and querying on lists of users.
As a sample use case, you might use this API to implement a custom tool for importing users into Relativity. You could retrieve user information for display in a custom application.
You can also use the User Manager API through REST. For more information, see User Manager (REST).
