LXC.AUTH.IDENTITY.INFO(1)

📦 version 5.21.6, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is lxc-auth-identity-info — the little command that lets you view the current identity. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

quick heads-up before we dive in: this page lives in the LXD - Command line client manual (section 1), so if you see (1) floating around, that's why. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lxc auth identity info [:] [flags]

yes, there's a literal [:] sitting in there. don't ask, just vibe. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Description:

Show the current identity. 👑

this command will display permissions for the current user. and it's not just a bare list, okay? it pulls together contextual information, which includes:

  • your effective groups 🌈
  • the permissions that are granted via identity provider group mappings 🔥

so like… it's giving "full transparency into why you can do the things you can do." main character energy for your own account, fr fr. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS ✨

these aren't even hers, she inherited them from the parent command — iconic nepotism honestly. 💅

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. set it to true and get the whole unhinged internal monologue. 🐛
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. like, insist on local. no cap.
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. your emotional support flag. 🫶
  • --project="" — override the source project. defaults to "", bestie. (the manpage literally has two stray backticks dangling after this one — I'm not copying the typo, I am copying the flag. 🙈)
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence. blessed, beautiful silence. 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. it's a team player like that. ✨
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. she's a talker. 💬
  • --version[=false] — print version number. who are you, really? 🪞
heads up: every single one of these shows [=false] in the manual, meaning that's the default — so if you want the behaviour, you gotta actually flip it on. no freebies. 💀
