mc admin user info ALIAS USERNAME

Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO AIStor deployment.
Replace USERNAME with the username to view.

For the MinIO AIStor internal Identity Provider (IDP), the output resembles the following:

AccessKey: aistoruser
Status: enabled
PolicyName:
MemberOf: []
UpdatedAt: 2025-12-22T16:24:04Z
Authentication: builtin (aistoruser)

For a third-party identity service such as LDAP, the output resembles the following:

AccessKey: uid=dillon,ou=people,ou=swengg,dc=min,dc=io
Status:
PolicyName: consoleAdmin
MemberOf: []
UpdatedAt: 2025-12-22T16:24:04Z

View policies from group membership

Use mc admin user info with --json to view policies inherited from group membership:

mc admin user info ALIAS USERNAME --json

Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO AIStor deployment.
Replace USERNAME with the username to view.

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:

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