+
+Users can be managed using the UserManager which is injected from the ServerContainer:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    namespace OCA\MyApp\AppInfo;
+
+    use \OCP\AppFramework\App;
+
+    use \OCA\MyApp\Service\UserService;
+
+
+    class Application extends App {
+
+        public function __construct(array $urlParams=array()){
+            parent::__construct('myapp', $urlParams);
+
+            $container = $this->getContainer();
+
+            /**
+             * Controllers
+             */
+            $container->registerService('UserService', function($c) {
+                return new UserService(
+                    $c->query('UserManager')
+                );
+            });
+
+            $container->registerService('UserManager', function($c) {
+                return $c->query('ServerContainer')->getUserManager();
+            });
+        }
+    }
+
+
+
+Creating users
+==============
+Creating a user is done by passing a username and password to the create method:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    namespace OCA\MyApp\Service;
+
+    class UserService {
+
+        private $userManager;
+
+        public function __construct($userManager){
+            $this->userManager = $userManager;
+        }
+
+        public function create($userId, $password) {
+            return $this->userManager->create($userId, $password);
+        }
+
+    }
+
+Modifying users
+===============
+Users can be modified by getting a user by the userId or by a search pattern. The returned user objects can then be used to:
+
+* Delete them
+* Set a new password
+* Disable/Enable them
+* Get their home directory
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    namespace OCA\MyApp\Service;
+
+    class UserService {
+
+        private $userManager;
+
+        public function __construct($userManager){
+            $this->userManager = $userManager;
+        }
+
+        public function delete($userId) {
+            return $this->userManager->get($userId)->delete();
+        }
+
+        // recoveryPassword is used for the encryption app to recover the keys
+        public function setPassword($userId, $password, $recoveryPassword) {
+            return $this->userManager->get($userId)->setPassword($password, $recoveryPassword);
+        }
+
+        public function disable($userId) {
+            return $this->userManager->get($userId)->setEnabled(false);
+        }
+
+        public function getHome($userId) {
+            return $this->userManager->get($userId)->getHome();   
+        }
+    }
+
+Session Information
+===================
+To login, logout or getting the currently logged in user, the Session has to be injected from the ServerContainer:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    namespace OCA\MyApp\AppInfo;
+
+    use \OCP\AppFramework\App;
+
+    use \OCA\MyApp\Service\UserService;
+
+
+    class Application extends App {
+
+        public function __construct(array $urlParams=array()){
+            parent::__construct('myapp', $urlParams);
+
+            $container = $this->getContainer();
+
+            /**
+             * Controllers
+             */
+            $container->registerService('UserService', function($c) {
+                return new UserService(
+                    $c->query('Session')
+                );
+            });
+
+            $container->registerService('Session', function($c) {
+                return $c->query('ServerContainer')->getSession();
+            });
+
+            // currently logged in user, userId can be gotten by calling the
+            // getUID() method on it
+            $container->registerService('User', function($c) {
+                return $c->query('Session')->getUser();
+            });
+        }
+    }
+
+
+Then users can be logged in by using:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    <?php
+    namespace OCA\MyApp\Service;
+
+    class UserService {
+
+        private $session;
+
+        public function __construct($session){
+            $this->session = $session;
+        }
+
+        public function login($userId, $password) {
+            return $this->session->login($userId, $password);
+        }
+
+        public function logout() {
+            $this->session->logout();
+        }
+
+    }
