FINAL

A user.

We provide the email address, nickname, and id for a user.

A nickname is a human-readable string which uniquely identifies a Google user, akin to a username. It will be an email address for some users, but not all.

A user could be a Google Accounts user or a federated login user.

Federated identity and federated provider are only avaliable for federated users.
