ICredentialProviderUser interface
Provides methods used to retrieve certain properties of an individual user included in a logon or credential UI.
Members
The ICredentialProviderUser interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. ICredentialProviderUser also has these types of members:
Methods
The ICredentialProviderUser interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetProviderID |
Retrieves the ID of the account provider for this user. |
| GetSid |
Retrieves the user's SID. |
| GetStringValue |
Retrieves string properties from the ICredentialProviderUser object based on the input value. |
| GetValue |
Retrieves a specified property value set for the user. |
Remarks
Windows 8 introduces the ability to group credential providers by user. The logon UI can display a set of users rather than a set of multiple credential providers for each user. Selecting a user then displays the individual credential provider options associated with that user.
When to implement
Third-parties do not implement this interface. An implementation is included with Windows.
