There are three classes of users in the system: SPFLoginUser, SPFEmailOnlyUser, and SPFPaperUser. For more information about the differences in these types of users, see User and role assignment configuration.
Each of these user classes has its own primary interface as shown in the following diagram. The SPFEmailUser interface contains the common email properties and is realized by both the login user and email only user classes.
The general ISPFUser interface is realized by all three user classes and has the relationship to the organization objects.
Details of the properties and functionality exposed by these interfaces are given in the sections that follow.

SPFUserUserOptions relationship definition
The SPFUserUserOptions relationship links the user to its user preferences object that stores many of the user preferences available from the File > Change User Preferences menu command in the Desktop Client and the User Preferences section in the Web Client Settings. The relationship is created automatically when the user is created.
SPFUserOrganization relationship definition
The SPFUserOrganization relationship links the user to its organization and is configured on the user create and update forms.
You can view files from their original location if a relationship does not exist
between a company and a user or between a company and a host. No defined relationships
are equal to having a blank value for the LocalFileServerfield option. If you are configuring integration with SPO/E, you must add the SPFOrganizationFileServerHost relationship.
