user

This object represents a computer user, with a slightly different meaning that depends on the OS.

  • On Windows, it can represent local and domain users computer, but not Entra ID users.
  • On Linux, it represents a user in the context of an active session. If a user is currently logged-in from multiple terminals, there are just as many active user sessions and each will be represented by a different user object.
