show usernames username

Prev Next

Displays full information about the specified user account. This command also displays the age of the password and whether the user needs to change the password on the next login attempt.

Note

For users with the Analyst and Auditor roles, this command only returns information about their own accounts.

Some user accounts are used internally and are not configurable.

A user with a reject user account is automatically locked out and is not associated with a role by default.
