Users vs UsersLibrary; When to use what?
Discussion
Architecture
Authentication
Security

Both of the modules provide the same server actions.

There are a few differences, however.

Users module

  • Widgets that can be used in an application to manage the account details and password
  • Server actions to interact with the platform brute force attack mechanism
  • Default user management portal
  • Can be opened in ServiceStudio and a clone can be made from it
  • Has a common UserManager role that needs to be used to access functionality

UsersLibrary module

  • Unable to open the module in ServiceStudio
  • Uses a structure for user and group instead of using the entity structures


Should the UsersLibrary server actions always be used before the Users server actions? 

Should the UsersLibrary server actions always be wrapped either via Users or in a custom user management module?

Hi Ouen,

 I asked OutSystems and this is the answer:

You should only reference Users module, the UsersLibary is for internal use by OutSystems.

Regards,

Daniel

Thank you for the feedback, Daniël.

By extension, this feedback also applies to the UsersLocalManagement extension which will also be for internal use by OutSystems.
