bes user
The bes user inspectors let you keep track of the users authorized to use the BigFix Console. You can iterate over the users, producing lists containing information such as the name and authorization level.
The permission-related bes user inspectors let you read the explicit and effective permissions of a BigFix Operator, matching the values surfaced by BigFix Explorer, the BigFix Console Presentation Debugger, and the Web Reports Server. The legacy non-prefixed permission inspectors remain available for backward compatibility reasons.

The link href property does not return an <A> tag but rather returns the value of the href attribute of the <A> tag that would be constructed by the other link inspectors. This allows you to create more flexible linking formats. (See link of <bes user>). Note that link href returns a normal string, not an HTML string.
