Identifying system admin and vault admin

Hi all,

Let's say that we have about 100+ users and would like to perform some sort of IT Audit in which we need to identify the system and vault admin.

Is there a quick way to get this information rather than clicking on each users 1 by 1 ?

  • Hi,

    Very interesting request.

    What I can see is that you can easily get info about Login Account over M-Files API: www.m-files.com/.../index.html and https://www.m-files.com/api/documentation/index.html#MFilesAPI~ServerLoginAccountOperations.html. On Login Account, you have info about server roles and you can get info about who is sysadmin. Similar with vault admins, you can find on User Account.

    That would mean that you could potentially make small background job or even own console app to read those out and print it out.

    This requires coding however. 

    Don't know if these data are included in some way in exported data through reporting module. If yes, perhaps you could see it in database table.

    I know that M-Files has some add-ons for setting multiple users as sysadmins (so that you don't need to do it manually). I saw it once. Perhaps there is an option there to see grouped all sysadmins. You could ask your M-Files contact if there is something like that.

    Just dropping some ideas, hope you find an easy way
