# Auth User

CBSecurity ships with a basic `User` object that already implements the auth and JWT interfaces and gives you basic properties. 

```
cbsecurity.models.auth.User
```

This powerful component provides a comprehensive representation of users, with robust authorization and JSON Web Token (JWT) capabilities. With this basic user, you can effortlessly manage your application's user authentication and access control. It offers a user-friendly interface for handling user profiles, permissions, and JWT generation, ensuring a secure and seamless experience for developers and end-users.

Check out the ColdBox REST Starter Templates to see it in action.

```bash
coldbox create app name=restapp skeleton=rest
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com/usage/auth-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
