This displays your current credentials, as registered with the kernel.

This shows the credentials currently associated with this user.  If that
differs from your current credentials that can mean they changed since
you have logged in, or the login process did not register all groups
with the kernel when setting up the session (which would presumably be a
bug in the login process).
