User DRT service

Note

This service is currently available to a limited set of clients and Microsoft employees only.

The User DRT service was created to allow the DRT (the central user store owned & maintained by Corp-IT) to control access for users. Eventually, roles and permissions will be governed via the DRT service.

The central ID used by DRT is the account_id, which stores mapping data between the user ID and the account ID.

Note

This service is accessible only to the following types of users:

Read access: All admins.
Write access: Only certain users specified in the config.
