Re: [che-dev] Profile vs Preference

[Gennady Azarenkov <gazarenkov@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi 

The difference between them is that Profile describes user itself (like email, address etc) and Preferences describe User specific properties for Che application (configurations, options).

It is important to separate them as integrating Application to enterprise infra it is logical to use company's user storage (LDAP in most cases) for Profile but Preferences database is provided by Application (Che).

Hi All ,

 

Could you please explain what is the difference between Profile and Preference ?

 

I See that Profile has an entity that has:

User id ,

Map <String,String> attributes

 

 

ProfileDao Interface defines CRUD and the profile can be updated by ProfileService in the API /profile

 

Preference is also Map<String,String> that is stored per User and is updated by the API /profile/prefs  by using the

PrefernceDao.SetPrefernces

 

Could you please describe what and when should I use each ?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Meirav
