client
The client object allows access to properties of the client application hosting the relevance evaluation, typically a BigFix program. In addition, the client maintains a collection of settings with both name and value properties that are inspectable using the client object. These inspectors share properties of application types, such as version and size.

Casting this as a string would return 'joe_admin=allow'.
