• Access user permissions (e.g., check if the user is an admin).
• Manage user settings stored in a configuration file (INI format).
• Easily extendable to add more user-related functionalities.

user = User(username)

# Check user permissions
permissions = UserPermissions(user)
print(f"Is {user.get_username()} an admin? {permissions.is_admin()}")
print(f"Privileges: {permissions.get_user_privileges()}")

# Manage user settings
user_settings = UserSettings(user)

# Set a new setting
