Logged in User (Activity)


  • Purpose: To access information about the currently logged-in user within the workflow context.

  • Functionality: The "Logged in User" activity retrieves details about the user who is currently executing or interacting with the workflow. This might include:
    • User ID: Unique identifier of the logged-in user.
    • Username/Email: User's login name or email address.
    • User Roles/Permissions: Information about the user's roles or access rights within the system.

    • Output: The activity will output user information as data that can be used in subsequent workflow steps.

  • Use Cases:
    • User-Specific Workflows: Personalizing workflow execution based on the identity or roles of the logged-in user.
    • Auditing and Logging User Actions: Recording the user who initiated or performed actions within a workflow for audit trails.
    • Authorization and Access Control: Implementing workflow logic that checks user roles or permissions before allowing access to certain data or actions.
