Hi @khanlarloo 

There is no hidden user concept in Splunk, if you login the SH cluster/standalone you can find users there local to splunk , LDAP and SAML. It depends what kind of Auth model you have?

Authentication, Autherisation conf files on SH to find the user you are looking for exist?

Do under bin, grep user that you are looking for -  ./splunk btool authentication list --debug
