# User

Represents a user in Collibra Data Access. It can be a human user or a machine user (service account) which groups accounts in different data sources.

```graphql
type User {
  accessControls(
    after: String
    filter: AccessControlForUserFilterInput
    limit: Int
    order: [AccessControlOrderByInput!]
  ): AccessControlConnectionResult!
  accounts(
    after: String
    filter: AccountFilterInput
    limit: Int
    order: [AccountOrderByInput!]
  ): AccountConnectionResult!
  allTags(
    after: String
    limit: Int
    order: [TagOrderByInput!]
    search: String
  ): TagConnectionResult!
  collibraUid: String @deprecated
  createdAt: Time!
  distinctAccess(
    after: String
    filter: AccessFilterInput
    limit: Int
    order: [UserAccessReturnItemOrderByInput!]
  ): GroupedUserAccessReturnItemConnectionResult!
  email: String
  id: ID!
  modifiedAt: Time!
  name: String!
  numberOfAccounts: Count
  numberOfDistinctAccess: CountResult
  tags(
    after: String
    limit: Int
    order: [TagOrderByInput!]
    search: String
