class UserInfoItem

Maturity: 24

UserInfoItem is a specialized SharePoint list item class that represents a user information item, inheriting all functionality from the ListItem base class.

Complexity:
simple

Purpose

This class serves as a domain-specific representation of user information items in SharePoint. It extends the ListItem class to provide a semantic type for working with user-related data stored in SharePoint lists. The class acts as a data model for user information entries, allowing developers to interact with SharePoint user data through a typed interface. As it currently contains no additional implementation beyond the base class, it primarily serves as a type marker for distinguishing user information items from generic list items in the SharePoint object model.

Source Code

class UserInfoItem(ListItem):
    pass

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases ListItem -

Parameter Details

bases: Inherits from ListItem, which is the base class for all SharePoint list items. This provides all standard list item functionality including CRUD operations, property access, and SharePoint API integration.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a UserInfoItem object that represents a specific user information entry in a SharePoint list. The object provides access to all inherited ListItem methods and properties for interacting with the underlying SharePoint data.

Class Interface

Methods

__init__(context, resource_path=None, properties=None)

Purpose: Initializes a UserInfoItem instance (inherited from ListItem)

Parameters:

  • context: ClientContext object for SharePoint API communication
  • resource_path: Optional ResourcePath object specifying the item's location in SharePoint
  • properties: Optional dictionary of initial property values for the item

Returns: UserInfoItem instance

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
properties dict Dictionary containing the SharePoint item properties including user information fields like Title, EMail, UserName, etc. (inherited from ListItem) instance
context ClientContext The SharePoint client context used for API operations (inherited from ListItem) instance
resource_path ResourcePath The resource path identifying this item's location in SharePoint (inherited from ListItem) instance

Dependencies

  • office365-rest-python-client

Required Imports

from office365.sharepoint.listitems.listitem import ListItem
from office365.sharepoint.userinfo.user_info_item import UserInfoItem

Usage Example

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.userinfo.user_info_item import UserInfoItem

# Authenticate to SharePoint
ctx = ClientContext('https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite').with_credentials(
    UserCredential('username@domain.com', 'password')
)

# Get user information list
user_info_list = ctx.web.site_user_info_list
user_items = user_info_list.items.get().execute_query()

# Access user information items
for item in user_items:
    if isinstance(item, UserInfoItem):
        print(f"User: {item.properties.get('Title')}")
        print(f"Email: {item.properties.get('EMail')}")

Best Practices

  • This class is typically instantiated by the SharePoint API client library rather than directly by user code
  • Use this class for type checking and type hints when working with user information items to distinguish them from generic list items
  • Access user properties through the inherited 'properties' attribute from ListItem
  • Ensure proper authentication and permissions are configured before attempting to access user information lists
  • The class inherits all methods from ListItem, so refer to ListItem documentation for available operations like update(), delete(), and property access
  • User information lists in SharePoint are special system lists that may have restricted access depending on permissions
