Detailed Description

The Account element represents an online account. It is functional only if its objectHandle property is set to a valid account, which can be obtained with Manager.loadAccount() or Manager.createAccount().

Property Documentation

accountId : string

The account's numeric ID. This is 0 until the account has been stored into the DB.


accountServiceHandle : object

A C++ object which can be used to instantiate an AccountService by setting it as the value for the AccountService::objectHandle property.


displayName : string

The account's display name (usually the user's login or ID).


enabled : bool

This read-only property tells whether the Account is enabled. An application shouldn't use an Account which is disabled.


objectHandle : object

An opaque handle to the underlying C++ object. Until the property is set, the Account element is uninitialized. Similarly, if the C++ object is destroyed, expect the Account to become invalid.

An immutable object representing the provider which provides the account. The returned object will have at least these members:

  • id is the unique identified for this provider
  • displayName
  • iconName
