Listing Your Users

As a root account, you can get information about the EIM users of your account, including their creation dates, paths, unique IDs and OUTSCALE Resource Names.

Listing Users Using OSC CLI

The ReadUsers command lists all EIM users that have a specified path.
If you do not specify a path, this action returns a list of all users in the account (or an empty list if there are none).

Request sample
$ osc-cli api ReadUsers --profile "default"

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

  • DryRun: (optional) If true, checks whether you have the required permissions to perform the action.

The ReadUsers command returns the following elements:

  • ResponseContext: Information about the context of the response.

  • Users: A list of EIM users.

Result sample
{
  "Users": [
    {
      "UserName": "example-user",
      "UserId": "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ12345",
      "Path": "/documentation/"
    }
  ],
  "ResponseContext": {
    "RequestId": "0475ca1e-d0c5-441d-712a-da55a4175157"
  }
}

Listing Users Using AWS CLI

To get information about EIM users, use the list-users command following this syntax:

Request sample
$ aws iam list-users \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    --path-prefix / \
    --endpoint https://eim.eu-west-2.outscale.com

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

  • (optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.

  • (optional) path-prefix: The path prefix of specific users. If unspecified, you will get information about all users of your account.

  • endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The list-users command returns the following elements:

  • Users: A list of EIM users. This element contains the following information:

    • UserName: The common name of the user.

    • Path: The path for the user.

    • CreateDate: The date and time of creation of the user.

        "Path": "/PATH/SUB_PATH/",
        "CreateDate": "2016-05-12T12:12:24.165Z",
