maybe you should start with the fine documentation:

Thanks

i got my answer , it is

$ logins

or

$ awk -F: ' $3 > 1 { print $0 }' /etc/passwd

here :
IDs 0-99 are for Solaris system accounts
IDs 100-999 for applications--------------------this is created user
IDs 1000-60000 for normal users

regards
