Get User or Group

Looks up a user or group in Autodesk Vault and returns a full profile, including the groups, roles, and vaults they have access to.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs details about a Vault user or group — for example, to check which vaults a person can access, to read a user's profile fields before routing work, or to expand a group into its member users and roles. You supply a single identifier and choose whether you are looking up a user or a group; the task finds the matching record and returns a structured profile that downstream tasks can read.

For a user, the identifier can be the Vault user ID, the login/username, or the email address. For a group, it can be the group ID or the group name. Whichever you provide is resolved to the correct Vault record automatically.
