User detail page showing assigned roles, permission lists, account metadata, and recurring jobs

User detail page with the roles, permission lists, account metadata, and recurring jobs needed to review a user’s effective access

### What You Can Do - **View Assigned Roles:** See the roles assigned to a user. - **Compare User Profiles (Cross-Database Diff Tool):** Compare two user accounts across databases (e.g. `DEV` vs `PROD`) or within the same database at `/users/compare` (accessible from the **Security > Compare Users** sidebar menu or search header). Analyzes field-by-field profile attributes, user ID aliases (`PSOPRALIAS`), directly assigned roles, effective permission lists, effective components & pages, web libraries, CIs, service operations, process groups, query access groups, email accounts, portal favorites, and system special-use bindings in a continuous-scroll layout with sticky navigation and Markdown export. - **Core Security Attributes:** See primary permission list, row security permission list, and process profile. - **Account Metadata:** View account status (active/inactive), last login, and email address. - **Password Settings:** See password-related settings (whether a password is set, when it expires). - **Recurring Jobs:** Check which unique batch processes the user has run on a recurrence schedule. ### When It's Useful - Checking what access a specific user has. - Reviewing user accounts during security audits. - Finding accounts that are inactive but still have broad role assignments. - Investigating who has access to a sensitive area of the system.
