tag String

Unique identifier of the user version. Dremio changes the tag whenever the user changes and uses the tag to ensure that PUT requests apply to the most recent version of the user.

  • local: User was created manually in the Dremio user interface (UI) or with the User API.

Example: local

active Boolean

If the user account is active in Dremio, the value is true. Otherwise, the value is false. The active value is set to true when the user is created and only changes if the user's status changes in external System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) provisioning. When the user is activated in the SCIM application, Dremio sets the value to true. When the user is deactivated in the SCIM application, Dremio sets the value to false.
