The User type is a reference type underlying the concept of a user. This type stores all the fields and components interactable in the user inspector, for example.

This type is a direct reference to a user in a session and is non-persistent. If a user leaves and rejoins the session, fields of this type will be nulled out. For a more permanent reference to a user that persists across rejoins, the UserRef type is more suitable.

+This type is a direct reference to a user in a session and is non-persistent. If a user leaves and rejoins the session, fields of this type will be nulled out. For a more permanent reference to a user that persists across rejoins, the [[Type:UserRef|UserRef]] type is more suitable.
-When wanting to get a user, this is only a temporary type.
-For more permanent things, Instead consider using a [[Type:UserRef|UserRef]] since a UserRef will re-grab the User object when the targeted user leaves  and rejoins the session.
