utils should only have reusable utilities, interfaces which are contracts to be used among components should be in api if we want them to be generally available for all components including plugins. > > So all the call for the user objects will be done through either > UserServices or UserManager classes. > > Advantages of it would be that we can create plugins just to integrate ACS > with third party AD services for user mgmt. To solve this problem, one way would be to define the UserServices interface (or whatever you want to introduce, I would still want the existing interface to be fixed and reused) and in your plugin make it depend on cloud-api, and your plugin's managerimpls can make use of this interface to do work.
