I'm wondering why you need access to the UserManager?

As for getting access to the repository manager, you can only get access
to components for which you declared a dependency, e.g. like this:

@avalon.dependency key="repository-manager" type="org.outerj.daisy.repository.RepositoryManager"

(all this changed a lot with the new Daisy Runtime in 2.1).
