+<h1>App Example - Messagee<a class="headerlink" href="#app-example-messagee" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Messagee is a simple Twitter-style messaging application that leverages
+the extensive functionality of Usergrid. This section describes some of
+the features of Messagee.</p>
+<p>There are three client versions of Messagee:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/apigee/usergrid-sample-ios-messagee">An iOS client
+version</a></li>
+<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/apigee/usergrid-sample-android-messagee">An Android client
+version</a></li>
+<li><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/apigee/usergrid-sample-html5-messagee">An HTML5
+client</a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>The sections below describe how to create a new app, enter some test
+users, and run the app. You also learn how to use the Usergrid admin
+portal, a user interface that streamlines data and application
+management in the Usergrid system. The portal is also a reference
+application that shows how to incorporate Usergrid APIs with JavaScript.
+For a more detailed discussion of the portal’s functionality, see Admin
+portal.</p>
+<div class="section" id="creating-a-user-account-in-usergrid">
+<h2>Creating a user account in Usergrid<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-user-account-in-usergrid" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Go to the Usergrid portal and login. If you are new to Usergrid, sign up
+for an account, specifying an organization (e.g., the name of your
+company or project team) and a username and password that you can use to
+authenticate. Because Usergrid are designed for use by development
+teams, the same username can be associated with one or more
+organizations.</p>
+<p>If you create a new account, you receive a confirmation email that
+contains a URL that you must click to activate the account. After this,
+simply log in to the portal with your username and password.</p>

+<h2>Creating an app and users<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-an-app-and-users" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>When you have logged in, you need to create a new application.</p>

+<div class="section" id="step-1">
+<h3>STEP 1<a class="headerlink" href="#step-1" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Enter a unique application name. The name must be unique to avoid a
+conflict with another user running the same application.</p>
+<img alt="../_images/portal2.png" src="../_images/portal2.png" />
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="step-2">
+<h3>STEP 2<a class="headerlink" href="#step-2" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Make sure that the portal shows the application name you entered as the
+active application beneath the Applications menu (1).</p>
+<p>If the correct name is not displayed, click the menu and select your
+application. Next, you need to populate a test user user-test-1 that is
+going to log in to your copy of the server-side Messagee app.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="step-3">
+<h3>STEP 3<a class="headerlink" href="#step-3" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

+<h3>STEP 4<a class="headerlink" href="#step-4" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Click the Add button and enter the user information for your application
+in the pop-up window (be sure to create a password you can remember),
+and then click the Create button. Repeat these steps to create a second
+username test-user-2.</p>
+<img alt="../_images/portal4.png" src="../_images/portal4.png" />

+<div class="section" id="step-5">
+<h3>STEP 5<a class="headerlink" href="#step-5" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>When you have finished all these steps, you have a new application and
+two new users.</p>

+<p>Now that you have created a uniquely named copy of the Messagee
+application as well as two user accounts (test-user-1 and test-user-2),
+you are ready to test out the Messagee app. Use test-user-1 to log in to
+the app, and test-user-2 as the user to follow.</p>

+<p><strong>Note</strong>: The Messagee iOS application uses RestKit, a popular REST

+<h1>Social Graph Connections<a class="headerlink" href="#social-graph-connections" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>One of the most useful features of Usergrid is the ability to create
+connections between entities, which allow you to model arbitrary
+relationships between entities. This feature is particularly powerful
+when applied to user entities by allowing you to model complex social
+graphs between users as well as groups of users.</p>
+<div class="section" id="following-followers">
+<h2>Following/followers<a class="headerlink" href="#following-followers" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To make the social graph possibilities of entity connections even easier
+to achieve, Usergrid also has special support for a default
+following/followers relationship, which offers these additional
+features:</p>
+<p>Reciprocal connection: If a following connection is made between a user
+and another user, a reciprocal followers relationship will be created
+automatically. In contrast, all of other entity connections are one-way,
+meaning any reciprocal relationship must be created manually.</p>
+<p>Activity feed subscription: The followed user’s activities will
+automatically be posted to the following user’s activity feed. For
+example, if Arthur is following Ford, then any activities published by
+Ford that Arthur is allowed to see will appear in Arthur’s activity
+feed.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="creating-a-following-followers-connection">
+<h2>Creating a following/followers connection<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-following-followers-connection" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To create a following/followers connection between two entities, create
+the connection as you would any generic entity connection. For full
+details on creating connections, see <a class="reference external" href="../entity-connections/connecting-entities.html">Connecting
+entities</a>.</p>
+<p>For example, the following request would create a following/followers
+relationship between two user entities with the usernames ‘Fred’ and
+‘Barney’:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>POST https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/users/barney/following/users/fred
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<div class="admonition note"> <p class="first admonition-title"><p>Note</p>
+</p> <p class="last"><p>Please note that this only works when you <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">POST</span></code> a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">following</span></code>
+connection. Creating a follower connection would not create a reciprocal
+following connection.</p>
+</p></div><p>This would retrieve a list of the users that Barney is following:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>GET https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/users/barney/following
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>And this would retrieve a list of users that are following Fred:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>GET https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/users/fred/followers
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="creating-other-connections">
+<h1>Creating other connections<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-other-connections" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>You can extend this connection structure to create connections using any
+relationship. For example, you could use likes to denote a connection
+between a user and his dog with this POST:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>POST https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/users/Fred/likes/dogs/Dino
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>Note that in this case a reciprocal connection is not automatically
+created. To do so you would need to manually create the reciprocal
+connection with another POST such as:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>POST https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/dogs/Dino/liked_by/users/Fred
+</pre></div>
+</div>

+entities</a>.</p>

+<h1>User management & social graph<a class="headerlink" href="#user-management-social-graph" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Whether you’re developing apps for mobile or the Web, it’s almost
+certain that you will need to be able to handle user management, as well
+as offer the types of social features users have come to expect from a
+rich app experience. Usergrid makes all of this easy with default entity
+types and functionality available right out of the box. From user
+registration and profiles to login and authentication to activity feeds
+and social graph, you can create a social experience quickly and easily
+with just a few types of API calls.</p>
+<div class="section" id="user-management">
+<h2>User management<a class="headerlink" href="#user-management" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The default user entity in Usergrid is designed to model app users,
+meaning registering users and managing their profiles is as simple as
+sending and updating JSON via the API. Used in conjunction with our
+available social graph, as well as our OAuth 2.0 authentication and
+token authorization features, you have all the tools you need to manage
+your user base.</p>

+<div class="section" id="group-management">
+<h2>Group management<a class="headerlink" href="#group-management" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>One of the most basic social features of any app is the ability to
+create groups of users to limit shared access to user or other app data.
+The default group entity in Usergrid was designed for this exact
+purpose. Associate a user with as many groups or sub-groups as you need,
+then apply permissions or roles to define shared access to Usergrid
+data.</p>

+<div class="section" id="social-connections">
+<h2>Social connections<a class="headerlink" href="#social-connections" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>To create a rich social graph, your app needs to be able to create
+connections between users. Usergrid makes this process lightweight by
+allowing you to create social connections and generic entity connections
+between users to model relationships by working with simple URI paths.</p>
+<p>For example, you could create a ‘likes’ relationship between two users
+with a POST:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/users/Arthur/likes/users/Ford
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>You could then retrieve all the users Arthur ‘likes’ with a GET to
+populate a list in your UI:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>https://api.usergrid.com/your-org/your-app/users/Arthur/likes
+</pre></div>

+</div>
+<div class="section" id="activity-feeds">
+<h2>Activity feeds<a class="headerlink" href="#activity-feeds" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Activity feeds can be an essential way of establishing a social
+dimension of your user experience. Allow users to actively publish
+activities, such as status messages, or have your application code
+passively publish activities based on user actions, such as posting a
+photo. Activity feeds can be created and shared at both the user and
+group level, giving you the flexibility to present activity feeds that
+are most relevant to your users.</p>
