Services which are asked for enumeration may return the `EnumerationNotSupported` error in this case.
And that's really all there is to it.
## Command Line Access
For command line access you can use the
[userdbctl](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/userdbctl.html)
or
[varlinkctl](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/varlinkctl.html)
commands. The `userdbctl` command is more end user friendly and the `varlinkctl`
command can help developers to understand the user database better.
To figure out which methods in the user database are available you can use:
```sh
varlinkctl introspect /run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Multiplexer io.systemd.UserDatabase
```
To get a record for a specific user use:
```sh
varlinkctl call /run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Multiplexer io.systemd.UserDatabase.GetUserRecord '{"userName": "alice", "service": "io.systemd.Multiplexer"}'
```
