Hi,

Taking a look at Alfresco source code and the test cases will give a better idea of how to use various API's.

Creating an user.

            HashMap<QName, Serializable> properties = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();
            properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_USERNAME, "testUser");
            properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_HOMEFOLDER, userNodeRef);
            properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_FIRSTNAME, "Test");
            properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_LASTNAME, "User");
            properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_EMAIL, "testUser@localhost.com");

            personService.createPerson(properties);

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

userNodeRef is  of type org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef. Other properties are strings.

Creating a group

authorityService.createAuthority(AuthorityType.GROUP, null, "myGroup");

‍‍‍‍‍

Adding testUser to myGroup

authorityService.addAuthority(authorityService.getName(AuthorityType.GROUP,"myGroup"),"testUser");

‍‍‍‍

Also you could search the forum for "createPerson" , "createAuthority" etc. and find more posts on these topics

Hi,

Once the user is created, createAuthentication for the user and also give all permission to the person node.

  //create the node to represent the Person
   NodeRef newPerson = this.personService.createPerson(props);
            
    // ensure the user can access their own Person object
    permissionService.setPermission(newPerson,"testUser", permissionService.getAllPermission(), true);
            
            
   // create the ACEGI Authentication instance for the new user
   authenticationService.createAuthentication("testUser","testUser".toCharArray());

To create Users you can use an open source project called RAAR (CMA), more information this topic: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=14628

   try{      
      configurationApplicationContext=WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(this.getServlet().getServletContext());
               
      authenticationService = (AuthenticationServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("authenticationService");
      peopleService = (PeopleServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("peopleService");
      nodeService = (NodeServiceImpl) configurationApplicationContext.getBean("nodeService");         
         
      ticket = authenticationService.authenticate(repositoryUri, userid, password.toCharArray());
