2. Managing and Accessing User Profile Data Overview
User Profiles in SharePoint 2013
Adding People Search Functionality to an App
Displaying User Profile Properties

3. Demonstration: Reviewing the Default User Profile Properties
In this demonstration, you will see an overview of the default user profile properties, data type and default privacy settings. You will also review the Active Directory connection configuration settings.

4. Understanding Options for Accessing User Profile Data
Searching for Users

5. Development Options for Managing User Profile Data
Read/Write
Server-side object model
Read only
.NET client-side object model
REST
JavaScript object model
Exceptions
Profile picture can be changed from client-side code
PeopleManager.setMyProfilePicture

6. All users with profiles
Enumerating Users
Site users
All users with profiles
Consider Search
var users = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.AllUsers;
foreach (var user in users)
{ }
var context = SPServiceContext.Current;
var userProfileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);
var users = userProfileManager.GetEnumerator();
while (users.MoveNext())
{ }

7. Use Keyword Query Language
Searching for Users
Use Keyword Query Language
Specify the Local People Results result source
ID: b09a ea-4af9-81ef-edfab16c4e31
var query = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Query.KeywordQuery (clientContext);
query.set_queryText("FirstName:" + firstName);
query.set_sourceId ("B09A EA-4AF9-81EF-EDFAB16C4E31");
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function () { … });

9. Managing User Profile Data
Discussion: Accessing User Profile Data with Client-side Code

10. Creating User Profiles
Reference assemblies:
Microsoft.Office.Server
Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles
Include Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles namespace
SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.Current;
UserProfileManager = new UserProfileManager(serviceContext);
UserProfile userProfile = userProfileManager.CreateUserProfile("CONTOSO\Mike");

11. Retrieving User Profile Properties by Using Client-side Code
var properties = ["AccountName“, “FirstName“];
var username = "CONTOSO\Mike";
var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext);
var profilePropertiesRequest = new SP.UserProfiles.UserProfileProeprtiesForUser (clientContext, username, properties);
var profileProperties = peopleManager.getUserProfilePropertiesFor (profilePropertiesRequest);
clientContext.load(profilePropertiesRequest);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function () {
accountName = profileProperties[1]; // Process success.
}, function() {
// Process failure.
});

12. Retrieving User Profile Properties by Using Server-side Code
UserProfile user = … ; // Assume a valid UserProfile instance.
// Properties for common profile properties.
var accountName = user.AccountName;
// Indexer for any properties.
var accountName = user["AccountName"].Value;
// PropertyConstants enumeration to simplify development.
var accountName = user[PropertyConstants.AccountName].Value;
// Enumerator or index for multi-value profile properties.
var values = user[PropertyConstants.AccountName].GetEnumerator();
var value1 = user[PropertyConstants.AccountName][0];

13. Updating User Profile Properties
Update any property in server-side code
Cannot update a property on a GET request
Override by using the SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates property
Update the profile picture in client-side code
PeopleManager.setMyProfilePicture
UserProfile user = … ; // Assume a valid UserProfile instance.
// Common profile properties.
userProfile.DisplayName = "Display Name";
// Any profile property.
userProfile["FirstName"].Value = "First Name"
// Persist changes.
useProfile.Commit();
