The TeamFoundationIdentity type exposes the following members.

Properties

  Name Description
Public property Descriptor The identity descriptor for this identity. The unique identifier for the identity's provider. Clients send identification to the server when they authenticate with TFS. Used for many identity management tasks such as AddMemberToApplicationGroup and ReadIdentity. TFS artifacts are either associated with this identifier or the identity's TeamFoundationId.
Public property DisplayName Full name of the identity for display purposes. The display name can come from the identity provider (Active Directory, ACS) or may have been set as a custom display name within TFS.
Public property IsActive Indicates that the identity is "current" with the provider (that is either read from source or being synced). It does not mean that it is a member of TFS Valid Users group (the "IsMember" query should be used to answer that).
Public property IsContainer Indicates that the identity is a group, possibly containing other identities as members.
Public property MemberOf IdentityDescriptors for groups containing this identity.
Public property Members IdentityDescriptors for members of this identity.
Public property TeamFoundationId Identifier assigned within TFS - unique throughout a host. TFS artifacts are either associated with this identifier or the identity's Descriptor.
Public property UniqueName
Public property UniqueUserId This represents the ID to distinguish deleted accounts from each other (for example: joe:1 vs. joe:3).
