	.SYNOPSIS
	Returns user objects for all or a specific user in the depot. 
	.DESCRIPTION
	Function returns an object or multiple objects for each user in the depot. If a specific user is not in the depot, a user object similar to a perforce user object will be returned, as long as a match is found in AD. This object is marked specially.
	.EXAMPLE
	This example returns all user objects in the depot:
	[PS] p4get-user

	FullName : Bockelie, Aaron
	Email    : aaron.bockelie@example.com
	Access   : 1292026648
	User     : aaron.bockelie
	Update   : 1291862517
	
	FullName : Du Pre, Adrian
	Email    : adrian.dupre@example.com
	Access   : 1282837172
	User     : adrian.dupre
	Update   : 1289874484
	.EXAMPLE
	This example returns only a single user in the depot:
	[PS] p4get-user aaron.bockelie

	FullName : Bockelie, Aaron
	Email    : aaron.bockelie@example.com
	Access   : 1292026648
	User     : aaron.bockelie
	Update   : 1291862517
	.EXAMPLE
	This example returns a single user object that is not in the perforce depot, so a proxy user object is returned. You can determine the difference between a real and proxy object by the parameters update and access, which are set to zero, and the warning.
	[PS] p4get-user benjamin.lile
	WARNING: User 'benjamin.lile' not found in Perforce depot 'p4infosys'
	
	
	FullName : Lile, Benjamin
	Update   : 0
	User     : benjamin.lile
	Email    : ben.lile@example.com
	Access   : 0
	.PARAMETER user
	Optional parameter to return a single user object. If the user does not exist in Active Directory or Perforce, an error is returned. However, if the user is in Active Directory, a proxy object is returned.
	.FUNCTIONALITY
	Use this function to return validated user objects from the depot. The term validated objects means an object tied to the current depot authentication trigger.
