Interface ITenantedPrincipleNameResolver

public interface ITenantedPrincipleNameResolver

Utility to go between principal IDs (user/role IDs) and principal name and tenant. To illustrate, if user "admin" belongs to tenant "acme," this resolver class determines the user's unique ID within a multi-tenanted environment where multiple users with the same name might exist across tenants. Conversely this class must be able to convert a unique user ID to a user name & tenant.
