Gets an identity of an end user.

- **Path** `GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/end_users/end-user/identities/identity`
- **Scope** `auth:read`
- **Effect** `read` — nothing is written.
- **Collection** [identities](/docs/api/identities)

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | The name of the identity to get. Required. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/end_users/{end_user}/identities/{identity}`. |
| `uid` | `string` | The identity's id; never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `type` | `IdentityType` | What kind of sign-in this is. Output only. One of `password`, `email`, `oidc`, `device`, `passkey`. |
| `provider` | `string` | The provider of a federated identity (`google`, `apple`,...); empty otherwise. Output only. |
| `fingerprint` | `string` | A one-way digest of the provider and the provider's subject (or of the device credential's verifier). It identifies the identity in an audit trail and reveals neither. Output only. |
| `link_time` | `timestamp` | When the identity was linked. Output only. |
| `last_use_time` | `timestamp` | The last sign-in with this identity, when known. Output only. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `generation` | `int64` | Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only. |
| `etag` | `string` | Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |

## Errors

- [`UNAUTHENTICATED`](/docs/api/errors/UNAUTHENTICATED) — No valid key or token was presented.
- [`PERMISSION_DENIED`](/docs/api/errors/PERMISSION_DENIED) — The key lacks the method's permission.
- [`RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND`](/docs/api/errors/RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND) — The named Resource does not exist or is not visible.

Every error arrives in the body [Errors](/docs/platform/errors) describes.
