Viewing Users

Prev Next

By default, the Users tab on the User Management page of the VAST Web UI displays all user entries defined on the local authorization provider. The current context (local by default) is indicated at the top of the tab: LocalContext.png

When you query a different provider (or all providers) for a user, the query result is displayed and the context indicator changes to indicate the context of the query.

If you navigate away from the tab and then back to the tab, the default (local) context appears again with a full listing of any and all local users.

The following attributes can be displayed per user:
