The best way to add users in Orion is with Orion's roleManager interface. This abstracts the usermanager, so that you can define your usermanager api with xml configuration.
Check-out this trail the docs here: http://www.orionserver.com/docs/api/com/evermind/security/RoleManager.html At our site, we use the RoleManager to do all of our user management. If later we decided to migrate to an LDAP usermanager from EJBUserManager, aside from moving the database, all we need to do is change the orion-application.xml user-manager tag...with no changes to our application code.

I am using EJBUserManager for security in Orion. What is the best way to update users? Should I directly use EJBUser EJB or use the API's in the UserManager. If UserManager is the answer, then how do I get access to it while running in Orion? Thanks -AP_
