A user represents the identity data that IdentityManager is designed to manage.

A user in IdentityManager is assumed to have a unique identifier (known as the subject), optionally a username (the value used to authenticate), and optionally a display name (known simply as name). All of these data types are determined by the identity management library, but are modeled as string in IdentityManager for flexibility.

These values are used when displaying the list of users. When querying users via QueryUsersAsync, the user summary information is returned as the UserSummary class on the QueryResult.

In addition to the values described above, users will contain additional data which is categorized in two ways: claims and properties.

When getting a user via GetUserAsync, the user's detailed information is returned as the UserDetail class, which contains these claims and properties.
