You cannot create a new
object, but you can instantiate one that has been persisted in your directory service by:
- Calling

orGetInstance
on theFetchInstance
class.Factory.User - Retrieving an individual
object from aUser
collection object.UserSet
You can call methods on the
object to retrieve information about the user, such as the user's name and ID and to which groups the user belongs.
