pulumi/pulumi-azuredevops

    Use this data source to access information about an existing user within Azure DevOps.

    ~>NOTE: If you only have the Storage Key(UUID) of the user, you can use azuredevops.getDescriptor to resolve the Storage Key(UUID) to a descriptor.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azuredevops from "@pulumi/azuredevops";

const example = azuredevops.getUser({
    descriptor: "descriptor",
});

    import pulumi
import pulumi_azuredevops as azuredevops

example = azuredevops.get_user(descriptor="descriptor")

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azuredevops/sdk/v3/go/azuredevops"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := azuredevops.LookupUser(ctx, &azuredevops.LookupUserArgs{
			Descriptor: "descriptor",
		}, nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using AzureDevOps = Pulumi.AzureDevOps;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var example = AzureDevOps.GetUser.Invoke(new()
    {
        Descriptor = "descriptor",
    });

});

    Using getUser

    Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

    function getUser(args: GetUserArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetUserResult>
function getUserOutput(args: GetUserOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetUserResult>
    def get_user(descriptor: Optional[str] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetUserResult
def get_user_output(descriptor: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
             opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetUserResult]
    func LookupUser(ctx *Context, args *LookupUserArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupUserResult, error)
func LookupUserOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupUserOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupUserResultOutput

    > Note: This function is named LookupUser in the Go SDK.

    public static class GetUser 
{
    public static Task<GetUserResult> InvokeAsync(GetUserArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetUserResult> Invoke(GetUserInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}
    public static CompletableFuture<GetUserResult> getUser(GetUserArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
public static Output<GetUserResult> getUser(GetUserArgs args, InvokeOptions options)

    fn::invoke:
  function: azuredevops:index/getUser:getUser
