User Management through Core Services

Question

We can access SDL Tridion User details through the UserData object, but can we also create Users and assign Roles using Core Services in 2011?

Answer 1

Of course you can:

var user = (UserData) ClientAdmin.GetDefaultData(ItemType.User, null, new ReadOptions());
user.Title = "domain\\user";
user.Description = "My new user";

user.GroupMemberships = new[]
{
    new GroupMembershipData
    {
        Group = new LinkToGroupData {IdRef = groupId},
        Scope = new[]
        {
            new LinkWithIsEditableToRepositoryData { IdRef = publication1Id },
            new LinkWithIsEditableToRepositoryData { IdRef = publication2Id },
        }
    },
};
user = (UserData) ClientAdmin.Create(user, new ReadOptions());
