Class User

java.lang.Object
me.josephsf.jobportaljosephsfeir.model.User
public class User extends Object
Model class representing a user account in the Job Portal system.

The User entity stores essential authentication and identification information for all users of the system, regardless of their role. Each user can have one or more roles (Candidate, Recruiter, or Admin) which determine their access rights.

User accounts are stored in the "users" collection in MongoDB. The username and email fields are indexed with unique constraints to ensure no duplicates.

User documents contain:

  • Basic identification (username, email)
  • Authentication credentials (password - stored encoded)
  • Role assignments (roles)
  • Audit timestamps (createdAt, updatedAt)

This class is used as the foundation for authentication and authorization throughout the application. Users with Candidate or Recruiter roles will typically have associated profile documents in the respective collections.
