Hi Suresh, The user API that I created was intended to be used as a support service. So most of the functionality in the API are operation oriented such as authenticating a user, fetching the groups of the authenticated user, checking the permissions of a user etc. As per my understanding most of these functionality are not useful to be implemented as web portal elements.
But for demonstration purposes we can implement a AngularJS based web application which allows the user to login and shows the user information, user permissions etc. Is this what you are referring?
