This command queries providers and the user database for a user entry. A provider query can be aggregated across providers to yield a merged result or it can be provider-specific. See Querying Users for more information.

    • All groups found for the user on all providers with distinct group names are treated as distinct groups to which the user belongs. Groups from different providers that share the same group name are merged according to the above conflict resolution rules.

  • ad, nis or ldap. Searches the specific provider only. (Each of these options appears only if a provider of that type is connected to the cluster.)

  • udb. Searches the UDB for the user. The output in this case includes the VID (VAST ID) for the user, which is needed when specifying a grantee in S3 ACLs.
