 Description   

The User and Group interfaces could expose simple properties, at least in the form of
String getProperty(String propertyName)
... so that custom applications could store/retrieve arbitrary data about users (birthday, nickname, website url, preferred color or pet ...)

It would be even better if there was a clean way to expose typed properties or even full objects.

done for User on svn - just using String properties.

Comment by Magnolia International [ 10/Sep/07 ]

See MAGNOLIA-1735 - maybe we need to move the setProperty method to UserManager

Comment by Magnolia International [ 17/Oct/07 ]

done MgnlGroup, just like for users.
See MAGNOLIA-1786 for further refinements.
