An individual user (SPUser) gains access to a Windows SharePoint Services object directly through an individual role assignment, or indirectly through membership in either a domain group or a SharePoint group (SPGroup) that has a role assignment. In a direct role assignment, the user is the principal (SPPrincipal), while in a domain group or SharePoint group role assignment, the domain group or SharePoint group is the principal.
