<P>The NetUser Win32 application programming interface (API) component is a set of C APIs that applications can call to manage security principals that are maintained by the Security Accounts Manager (SAM). The following are examples of such security principals: set password, change password, create user, create group, set description, display users, and so on.</P>
<P>The NetUser Win32 API component includes the following API elements:</P>
<P><B>NetUserXXX<BR>
NetLocalGroupXXX<BR>
NetGroupXXX<BR>
NetQueryDisplayInformation<BR>
NetGetDisplayInformationIndex</B></P>
<H1>Component Configuration</H1>
<P>There are no configuration requirements for this component.</P>
<H1>Special Notes</H1>
<P>Although the C APIs included in this component are intended for applications, internal Windows components also make use of them. Therefore, just because no application is known to call these API<50>s, there may be system dependencies on them. However, if the operating system is configured not to perform any security principal management (reading or writing), this component should be unnecessary.</P>
<H1>For More Information</H1>
<P>The NetUser Win32 APIs are documented in the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN).</P>
