Getting Information About EIM Users Using OKS

You can use OKS to list the EIM users created in a project and view the available EIM user types and their associated permissions.

Listing Available EIM User Types Using OKS CLI

The user types command allows you to list the available EIM user types and their associated permissions.

Request sample
$ oks-cli user types \
    --profile-name "default" \
    --project-name NAME_OF_PROJECT \
    --output json

This command contains the following options that you need to specify:

  • (optional) profile-name: The name of the configuration profile to use.

  • project-name: The name of the project for which you want to list the available EIM user types.

  • (optional) output: The output format for the response (json | yaml). If not specified, the response is in table format.

The user types command returns the following elements:

  • User Type: The name of the available EIM user types.

  • Description: A description of the permission associated with the EIM user type.

Result sample

    },
    {
        "UserType": "OKSVolumesManager",
        "Description": "OKS user with management access to volumes BSU"
