User Details Page

The User Details page provides a comprehensive view of any synchronized user account. Navigate to it by clicking any user in the Directory Browser, or go directly to /admin/directory/user-details/{id}.

Overview Tab

The Overview tab is the default view when you open a user's detail page. It presents the most important identity information at a glance.

Header Section

At the top of the page you will see:

Element Description
Display Name The user's full name (e.g., "Jane Smith")
Account Status Visual badge showing Active, Disabled, or Locked
Risk Score Color-coded badge from the AI risk assessment (Low, Medium, High, Critical)
Manager Clickable link that navigates to the manager's own detail page

Key Information Sections

The Overview tab is divided into several collapsible sections, each grouping related attributes.

Account Information

Field AD Attribute Description
Username sAMAccountName The legacy logon name (e.g., jsmith)
User Principal Name userPrincipalName The UPN logon format (e.g., jsmith@corp.local)

Object GUID objectGUID Globally unique identifier for this object
Distinguished Name distinguishedName Full LDAP path (e.g., CN=Jane Smith,OU=Users,DC=corp,DC=local)

Group Memberships Tab

The Groups tab lists every group the user belongs to. This includes both direct memberships and nested (transitive) memberships when available.

Column Description
Group Name Clickable link to the group's detail page
Type Security or Distribution
Scope Domain Local, Global, or Universal
Membership Direct or Nested (inherited through another group)

Use the search bar within the tab to filter groups by name. This is especially useful for users with dozens or hundreds of group memberships.

Tip: Before conducting an access review, check this tab to understand the full access picture for a user. Nested memberships can grant access that is not immediately obvious.

Manager and Direct Reports

The Overview tab shows the user's manager as a clickable link. If the user manages other people, a Direct Reports section appears listing each report with a link to their detail page. This creates a navigable org chart snippet directly within the directory browser.

If the manager field is empty, IdentityCenter flags this as a potential governance issue. Policies such as "Unresolved Managers" can detect and alert on accounts missing a valid manager assignment.

Active Directory Timestamps

Active Directory stores many timestamps as Windows FILETIME values (a 64-bit integer representing 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601). IdentityCenter automatically converts these to human-readable dates.

Attribute What It Means Replication Behavior
lastLogon Most recent interactive logon Not replicated -- per domain controller only
lastLogonTimestamp Replicated last logon Replicated, but may lag up to 14 days
pwdLastSet When the password was last changed Replicated
accountExpires When the account expires (if configured) Replicated
whenCreated When the object was created in AD Replicated
whenChanged When the object was last modified Replicated

Note: IdentityCenter displays the more recent of lastLogon and lastLogonTimestamp as the effective "Last Login" value. If both are empty, the user has never logged in interactively.

Special Timestamp Values

Value Displayed Meaning
Never The attribute is 0 or not set -- the event has never occurred
Never Expires accountExpires is set to 0 or 9223372036854775807 (max int64)
A specific date The converted FILETIME value

User Account Control (UAC) Flags

The UAC section decodes the userAccountControl bitmask attribute into individual, human-readable flags. Each flag is displayed with a status indicator.

Flag Hex Value Meaning
ACCOUNTDISABLE 0x0002 Account is disabled
LOCKOUT 0x0010 Account is locked out
PASSWD_NOTREQD 0x0020 No password required
NORMAL_ACCOUNT 0x0200 Standard user account
DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD 0x10000 Password never expires
SMARTCARD_REQUIRED 0x40000 Must use smart card to log on
TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION 0x80000 Account trusted for Kerberos delegation
NOT_DELEGATED 0x100000 Account cannot be delegated
USE_DES_KEY_ONLY 0x200000 Restrict to DES encryption types
DONT_REQ_PREAUTH 0x400000 Kerberos pre-authentication not required
PASSWORD_EXPIRED 0x800000 Password has expired
TRUSTED_TO_AUTH_FOR_DELEGATION 0x1000000 Protocol transition (constrained delegation)

Security Note: The flags TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION (unconstrained delegation) and DONT_REQ_PREAUTH (AS-REP roasting risk) are highlighted as security warnings when present. The AI insights panel calls these out specifically.

AI Insights Panel

When Intelligence features are enabled, the right side of the user detail page displays an AI-generated insights panel. The ContextualInsightService computes and displays:

Insight Description
Inactivity Detection Days since last login, flagged if over your configured threshold
Risk Factors UAC flags like unconstrained delegation, password never expires, pre-auth not required
Privileged Group Analysis Whether the user is a member of sensitive groups (Domain Admins, Schema Admins, etc.)
SPN Analysis If the user has SPNs registered (Kerberoasting risk for user accounts)
Security Recommendations AI-generated suggestions such as "Consider removing DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD"

The insights panel updates each time the page loads using the latest synced data.

Editing User Attributes

If your AD connection has write-back permissions, you can edit user attributes directly from this page. Click the Edit button to modify fields such as department, title, manager, phone numbers, and more. All changes are written back to Active Directory immediately and logged in the audit trail.

For full details on write-back capabilities, see Object Write-Back.
