User Management

Services

Users are stored as agents in las2peer. Currently there are three types of Agents: User Agents, Service Agents and GroupAgents. These agents do not provide useful information for users. Extra information about the user can be stored with a service. For example the Userinformation-Service stores:

• First name
• Last name
• User image

You have also the possibility to set permissions to these data fields (private/public).

The idea is that the UserInformation service is a small service storing the most important information of the user. It has no direct connection to a frontend. If you want to make use of these values you can have a look at the Contact-Service. It refers to the data of the UserInformation-Service via RMI.

This service provides:

• An address book
• Friend list
• Group management
