Package TWiki::User

A User object is an internal representation of a user in the real world. The object knows about users having login names, wiki names, personal topics, and email addresses.

Groups are also handled here. A group is really a subclass of a user, in that it is a user with a set of users within it.

The User package also provides methods for managing the passwords of the user.

ClassMethod new ($session,$loginname,$wikiname)
