It is used in the (sunSpot) portal framework for generating
the profile of a user. But apart from that it's not use.

You can write your own component for this, but afaik there
is currently none already available.

Besides the (big) portal code: I think, no.

For a running system: never. Only the user management web

fetches all users for a given role to make them editable.
