creds

Display user and group information

APPLICABILITY

SYNOPSIS

ccase-home-dir\etc\utils\creds options

DESCRIPTION

The creds utility displays user and group information for the currently logged-in user for the local Windows NT host. The value of the user's Primary Group is affected by the CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP environment variable. If this EV is set, creds displays its value, which is used only for ClearCase/ClearCase LT processing. If this EV is not set, creds displays the user's Windows NT primary group.

creds also displays the user's ClearCase/ClearCase LT privilege status:

You do not have to be in the ClearCase group to use ClearCase. However, members of this group have more privileges to create and modify ClearCase objects. See the permissions reference page for more information.

RESTRICTIONS

None.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

By default, creds displays the credentials for the current user. Lookup is done on the local machine.

Some ClearCase and ClearCase LT operations cannot evaluate group membership information for more than 32 groups per user. If the user is a member of more than 32 groups, creds lists only the 32 groups used by all ClearCase and ClearCase LT operations.

-w

Lists all groups of which the user is a member. If the user is a member of more than 32 groups, this list will include some groups that some ClearCase and ClearCase LT operations do not consider when determining the user's identity.

-h

Show options for this command.
