Very nice article. I worked with EnsureUser and found out that there are a few other inconveniences. For example, we need almost always to use elevated privileges to deal with EnsureUser, otherwise exception will be thrown. Or for example, if user doesn't exist in user collection, it will be tried to add to this collection, but this means that spWeb object will be modified and it's required AllowUnsafeUpdates = true. Eventually, I've developed a small method-wrapper for EnsureUser. It's shown in my blog - <a href="http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2011/05/sharepoint-wrapper-over-ensureuser/" rel="nofollow">http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2011/05/sharepoint-wrapper-over-ensureuser/</a> Thanks!
