Discovering User Identity with the WhoAmI Utility
Discovering who you are in relation to other elements of the system is important. A username is
only part of your identity. For example, the system also knows about an SID and your group affiliations.
The WhoAmI utility provides information about the current user based on input criteria.
Using this utility alone displays just the username. This utility uses the following syntax:
WHOAMI [/UPN | /FQDN | /LOGONID]
WHOAMI { [/USER] [/GROUPS] [/PRIV] } [/FO {TABLE | LIST | CSV}] [/NH]
WHOAMI /ALL [/FO {TABLE | LIST | CSV}] [/NH]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
/UPN Displays the user??™s name in User Principal Name (UPN) format. Use this option in a
domain setting.
/FQDN Displays the user??™s name in Fully Qualified Distinguished Name (FQDN) format. Use
this option in a domain setting.
/USER Displays the username and SID.
/GROUPS Displays the user??™s group affiliations. Each group entry includes the group name,
type (such as well-known group or alias), group SID, and group attributes (such as mandatory
group, enabled by default, and enabled group).
/PRIV Displays the user??™s privileges.
