User Access Details

Prints out a list of users, and what devices they have access to view.

This script gets each user, and which dedicatedHosts, hardware, and virtual guests they have permissions to view.

The hasFullAccessFlags are used to determine if a user has access to ALL hosts of that type or not. We are using that flag here to condense the output, but each user will still have the full list of hardware under their account if they have access to all.
