How to match the compute server pod launched by SAS Studio with an end-user via Azure CLI or Portal?

Hi experts,

SAS Viya 2023.11

When an end-user opens SAS Studio, a "compute server" type pod is launched on his behalf (correct me if I am wrong here). Question is how a cluster admin can associate a launched compute-server pod seen in the list of pods in Azure portal with an end-user?

Update: I found out that in the pod's properties there is an annotation called "sas.com/owner" which contains the UID of the owner user. I do not know how to easily locate this uid in the identities service.  I know that I can find the UID given a username with the /identities/users/{{username}}/identifier endpoint but how to I find the username given the UID?

I would go for the labels associated with a pod, see the example below.

labels:
    app: sas-workload-orchestrator
    launcher.sas.com/job-type: compute-server
    launcher.sas.com/requested-by-client: sas.studio
    launcher.sas.com/username: christine
    sas.com/created-by: sas-launcher
    sas.com/deployment: sas-viya
    swo.sas.com/containerName: sas-programming-environment
    swo.sas.com/jobID: '40'

This gives you directly the userid your are after.

As @BrunoMueller mentions you can use the launcher.sas.com/username label. In the Azure Portal under the AKS cluster -> Workloads -> Pods you can add a label filter to specify the user and see the pods associated with that user that way. You could similarly use kubectl:
kubectl -n namespace get pods -l launcher.sas.com/username=sasdemo
