The user manager services API does not offer all features that the SQL user management statements provides. In Jaybird, this API is provided through UserManager/FBUserManager. We will deprecate this Jaybird API, recommending use of the user management statements.

We could reimplement the UserManager interface in terms of SQL user management statements, but at this time I don't really see the need or point to do that.

The interfaces and classes UserManager, FBUserManager, User and FBUser will be deprecated. At this time, we do not plan to remove the actual implementation. This may be changed at a later date, or if we decided to reimplement in terms of the user management statements.
