Querying a User or Group using the VAST Web UI
From the left navigation menu, select User Management and then Query User or Group.
Select the Tenant for the user or group.
Select the Provider with which the user or group is associated. Select Aggregated to query all providers defined on the cluster, and merges information received from them as follows:
If there is a conflict between local and non local providers, the local provider's attributes override those of the other providers.
If there is a conflict between POSIX attributes on external providers, the POSIX primary provider overrules the other external provider.
Users are merged if their match user attributes match. The match user attribute is configurable in that you can set which attribute on the POSIX primary provider is used to match the users.
All groups found for a user on all providers with distinct group names are treated as distinct groups to which the user belongs. Groups are merged if they match according to a non-configurable group name attribute.
Select whether the query is for a User or a Group.
In Search By, select the attribute according to which the user or group is queried:
For Users, select from user name, login name, UID, or SID.
For Groups, select from group name, GID, or SID.
Enter the attribute for the user or group. If user name or group name are selected, enter the name without the domain, without wildcards. For users or groups in a domain in a trusted forest, enter the name and domain (for example:
name@domain).Click Query User or Query Group. If the user or group is found, details are shown on the right.
You can modify some details for the user or group, as follows:
For Users: you can select Identity Policies for it, grant permissions to create or delete buckets, and add S3 access keys.
For Groups, you can select Identity Policies for it.
