Here’s an example of how to use the Users API in Go. This example checks to see if the current user is logged in; if not, the user is given a link to log in. If the user is already logged in, then it creates and prints a link to log out.

//Creates an App Engine Context - required to access App Engine services.
c := appengine.NewContext(r)
//Acquire the current user
user := appengineuser.Current(c)
if user == nil {
    url, _ := appengineuser.LoginURL(c, "/")
    fmt.Fprintf(w, `<a href="%s">Sign in</a>`, url)
} else {
    url, _ := appengineuser.LogoutURL(c, "/")
    fmt.Fprintf(w, `Welcome, %s! (<a href="%s">sign out</a>)`, user, url)
}
