user refresh

Prev Next

This command refreshes a user entry in the user database by querying providers and merging results.

The query order and result may differ depending on whether you supply a UID or a SID. For details of the refresh process, see Refreshing Users.

If you run the user refresh command twice in a sequence, the second run can fail with a message stating that the user could not found in the VAST Cluster's internal database (UDB). This is not indicative of any error since the user refresh operation, by design, invalidates all user entries in the UDB so that the database can be refilled with up-to-date information from the authentication and authorization providers.
