## Syntax {#syntax}

The [`mc admin user info`](#command-mc.admin.user.info) command returns detailed information of a [MinIO user](/administration/identity-access-management/minio-identity-management/#minio-internal-idp) on the target MinIO deployment.

To manage external Identity Provider users, see [`OIDC`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-idp-openid/#command-mc.idp.openid) or [`AD/LDAP`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-idp-ldap/#command-mc.idp.ldap).

**EXAMPLE**

The following command returns details of user `myuser` on the `myminio` MinIO deployment:

```shell
mc admin user info myminio myuser
```

**SYNTAX**

The command has the following syntax:

```shell
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin user info      \
                            ALIAS     \
                            USERNAME
```

- Brackets `[]` indicate optional parameters.
- Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
- Parameters separated using the pipe `|` operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

## Examples {#examples}

### View User Details {#view-user-details}

Use [`mc admin user info`](#command-mc.admin.user.info) to view detailed user information for a user on a MinIO deployment:

```shell
mc admin user info ALIAS USERNAME
```

- Replace [`ALIAS`](#mc.admin.user.info.ALIAS) with the [`alias`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias/#command-mc.alias) of the MinIO deployment.
- Replace [`USERNAME`](#mc.admin.user.info.USERNAME) with the username of the user to display information for.

For the [MinIO internal IDentity Provider (IDP)](/administration/identity-access-management/minio-identity-management/#minio-internal-idp), the output resembles the following:

```shell
AccessKey: miniouser
Status: enabled
PolicyName:
MemberOf: []
Authentication: builtin (miniouser)
```

For a [third-party](/operations/external-iam/#minio-external-identity-management) identity service such as LDAP, the output resembles the following:

```shell
AccessKey: uid=dillon,ou=people,ou=swengg,dc=min,dc=io
Status:
PolicyName: consoleAdmin
MemberOf: []
Authentication: ldap/localhost:1389 (uid=dillon,ou=people,ou=swengg,dc=min,dc=io)
```

### View Policies from Group Membership {#view-policies-from-group-membership}

Use [`mc admin user info`](#command-mc.admin.user.info) with :option::*–json &lt;mc.–json&gt;* to view the policies inherited from a user’s [group memberships](/administration/identity-access-management/minio-group-management/#minio-groups):

```shell
mc admin user info ALIAS USERNAME --json
```

- Replace [`ALIAS`](#mc.admin.user.info.ALIAS) with the [`alias`](/reference/minio-mc/mc-alias/#command-mc.alias) of the MinIO deployment.
- Replace [`USERNAME`](#mc.admin.user.info.USERNAME) with the username of the user to display information for.

The `memberOf` property in the output contains a list of groups the user is a member of, with the policies attached to each group. The output resembles the following:

```shell
{
 "status": "success",
 "accessKey": "myuser",
 "userStatus": "enabled",
 "memberOf": [
  {
   "name": "testingGroup",
   "policies": [
    "testingGroupPolicy"
   ]
 "authentication": builtin (myuser)
  }
 ]
}
```

### S3 Compatibility {#s3-compatibility}

SILO is the supported server for PGSTY mcli; compatibility with upstream MinIO and other S3 services is [best effort](/reference/minio-mc/#command-mc).
