Getting the service
Services property
UmbracoAuthorizedApiController
has been removed from Umbraco 14. UseManagementApiControllerBase
class instead.UmbracoApiController
is obsolete in Umbraco 14 and will be removed in Umbraco 15.
If you wish to use the UserService in a class that inherits from one of the Umbraco base classes (eg. SurfaceController
, UmbracoApiController
or UmbracoAuthorizedApiController
), you can access the service through a local Services
property:
Dependency Injection
In other cases, you may be able to use Dependency Injection. For instance if you have registered your own class in Umbraco's dependency injection, you can specify the IUserService
interface in your constructor:
Static accessor
If neither a Services
property or Dependency Injection is available, you can also reference the static Current
class directly:
