Viewing Allowed DX Users for a Customer

Overview

This article explains how to retrieve the list of allowed DX users for a particular customer and whether this can be shared via a customer-facing link.

1. How to Retrieve the List of Allowed DX Users

✔ The list of authorized DX users is stored in the license file.
✔ DX does not provide a direct customer-facing link to access this information.
✔ Manual lookup is required unless automation is implemented.

Steps to Manually View Allowed DX Users:

1️⃣ Locate the DX license file on the server where DX is installed.
2️⃣ Open the license file in a text editor (e.g., Notepad++, VS Code).
3️⃣ Copy the Base64-encoded string from the license file.
4️⃣ Paste it into an online decoder such as Base64Decode.
5️⃣ The decoded output will display the list of all authorized users.

✔ Alternative: Use a Script for Automated Lookup

If manual lookup is inconvenient, a custom script can be written to decode and extract user details periodically.

2. Can This List Be Shared via a Customer-Facing Link?

🚫 No, DX does not provide an automated customer-facing lookup tool.
✔ If required, the extracted list can be manually shared with the customer.
✔ Ensure that customer IT policies allow sharing user lists before providing access.

3. Best Practices for Managing DX User Access Information

✅ Regularly verify the list of allowed users to ensure compliance.
✅ Use Base64 decoding to extract users efficiently when needed.
✅ Automate license file extraction if frequent lookups are required.
✅ Restrict access to the license file to avoid unauthorized modifications.

4. Conclusion

DX user lists are stored in the license file and require manual extraction.
There is no built-in customer-facing lookup tool.
Base64 decoding allows quick access to the authorized user list.
