For debugging purposes it is sometimes needed to get detailed information on an user. It is possible to get permission information, permission group information and detailed debugging information using a specific URL.

Instructions

Go to the URL to get additional information on users

http://www.domain.com/AssertWeb/en/site/Home/Info

For users which have Admin permission a page will display with multiple pieces of information. At the very end it is possible to see permissions assigned to the user.

 

User’s information when user does not have permission

In version 5.1 it is possible to get this information on non admin users as well.

In version 5.1, accessing the same URL with a token code will present the same information. For users which have problems, this file may end up being helpful to sort out eg actual permissions.

In profile.config add a token for access to user’s permissions

<UserInfoLogToken>tokencode</UserInfoLogToken>

Access the user information by browsing to the below URL:
