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.
- User Profile Data: Potentially other profile information associated with the user (e.g., name, department, etc.).
- 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.
