These Inspectors return information about local and current user accounts, including names, logins, passwords and more.
Declaration | Description | Platforms (?) |
local user <string> | Returns the Active Directory local user object for the specified local user. This allows inspection of AD properties for that user, whether cached or currently logged in. | Win:8.1, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Ubu:8.2 |
user | Returns objects for all users of the computer, logged in or not. | Win:8.1, Lin, Sol, HPUX, AIX, Mac, Ubu:8.1 |
user <string> | Returns the user specified by <string>. | Win:8.1, Lin, Sol, HPUX, AIX, Mac, Ubu:8.1 |
effective user of <process> | Returns the effective user of the process specified | Ubu:9.0, Lin:9.0, HPUX:9.0, AIX:9.0, Sol:9.0 |
user of <logged on user> | Returns a user object from a 'logged on' user. This is for Active Directory expressions to bridge the gaps between user types. This retains the domain information of the logged on user within the user object where other user types might not. | Win:8.1, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac:8.1, Ubu:8.2 |
Declaration | Return type | Description | Platforms (?) |
name of <user> | <string> Plural: names | Returns the name of all specified users, whether logged on or not. On Linux or UNIX platforms, returns the name of all logged on users. | Win:8.1, Lin, Sol, HPUX, AIX, Mac, Ubu:8.1 |
tty of <user> | <string> Plural: ttys | Returns the tty of the user. | Lin, Sol, HPUX, AIX, Ubu:8.1 |
Declaration | Description | Platforms (?) |
current user | Returns the active, console (local) user, if logged on. Otherwise does not exist. Example: name of current user = "bigfix" - Returns true if BigFix is the current user object. | Win, Lin, Sol, HPUX, AIX, Mac, WM, Ubu:8.1 |
logged on user | Returns zero or more users logged on to this computer. This Inspector iterates through all logged-on users, using Fast User Switching, Terminal Services, ACLs, and on Win 9x, the registry. | Win, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac, WM, Ubu:8.2 |
Declaration | Return type | Description | Platforms (?) |
active of <logged on user> | <boolean> Plural: actives | Returns TRUE if the specified user session is active (either as a current Fast User or an active terminal services connection). | Win, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac, WM, Ubu:8.2 |
name of <logged on user> | <string> Plural: names | If Terminal Services is available and enabled under NT4/2000/2003/XP/Vista, this Inspector returns the result of WTSQuerySessionInformation with WTSUserName. With Terminal Services disabled, it examines the ACLs on the security descriptor of the "winsta0" window station. Under Windows 9x, returns the "Current User" of "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control" if it exists. Otherwise returns No Such Object. | Win, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac:8.2, WM, Ubu:8.2 |
process id of <logged on user> | <integer> Plural: process ids | Returns the process id number for the base session process for logged on users, usually the session manager. | Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Ubu:8.2 |
remote of <logged on user> | <boolean> Plural: remotes | Returns TRUE if the user session is a remote terminal services connection. | Win, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac, WM, Ubu:8.2 |
tty of <logged on user> | <string> Plural: ttys | Returns the name of the connection the user is on. Result is platform specific. Examples are: "Console", "RDP-Tcp#0", "pts/1", ":0" | Win:8.2, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac:8.2, Ubu:8.2 |
user of <logged on user> | <user> Plural: users | Returns a user object from a 'logged on' user. This is for Active Directory expressions to bridge the gaps between user types. This retains the domain information of the logged on user within the user object where other user types might not. | Win:8.1, Lin:8.2, Sol:8.2, HPUX:8.2, AIX:8.2, Mac:8.1, Ubu:8.2 |
