# Check if user exists — Active Directory

Botize method — `adirectory.check_user` (trigger).

Triggers when checking whether a given user exists in your Active Directory.

This is a trigger: it starts the task. A task has exactly one.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `username` *(string)* — User name to check. The username to be verified.
- `by` *(string, one of: "cn" = By 'CN'; "uid" = By 'UID')* — Identify user name by. Method to identify the user: by Common Name ('CN') or User ID ('UID').

*(Fields derived from the configuration form.)*

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{cn}}` *(int)* — CN
- `{{sn}}` *(text)* — SN
- `{{mail}}` *(text)* — Mail
- `{{manager}}` *(text)* — Manager
- `{{manager_email}}` *(text)* — Manager email
