Class DefaultUserEntity

Namespace

Tharga.Team.MongoDB

Assembly

Tharga.Team.MongoDB.dll

The standard stored user. Declares every optional property, so directory linking, activity tracking and icons all work without further wiring.

Remarks

The optional properties are opt-in by shape — the toolkit writes LastSeen, DirectoryId and Icon only when the entity declares somewhere to put them. A default has to choose for the host, and this one chooses all three (user, 2026-08-02).

The alternative was a smaller entity, but it fails badly and silently: Verify would find nothing, avatars would never appear, and "last seen" would read Never forever — three documented features quietly doing nothing, with no error to explain why. The cost of this choice is three nullable fields and a LastSeen write on activity.

Declare your own record implementing IUser to persist fewer, or more. There is deliberately no UserEntityBase to derive from — IUser is the contract, and the optional properties are exactly the ones a host should be choosing between.

Properties

DirectoryId

Enables linking to an external directory, and Verify.

public string DirectoryId { get; init; }

Property Value

string

EMail

public required string EMail { get; init; }

Property Value

string

Icon

Enables stored user icons, as opposed to Gravatar or initials alone.

public string Icon { get; init; }

Property Value

string

Identity

public required string Identity { get; init; }

Property Value

string

Key

public required string Key { get; init; }

Property Value

string

LastSeen

Enables activity tracking on the admin grids.

public DateTime? LastSeen { get; init; }

Property Value

DateTime?

Name

Display name for the user. Defaults to null. Consumers should populate this from the 'name' claim in CreateUserEntityAsync. Used for default team names and member display names.

public string Name { get; init; }

Property Value

string
