User context

[Pedro_Pais]

Hello, is it possible to have a user context in UiPath Apps, like a session context? If yes, do you have resources where I can study this functionality?

Thanks,
Regards,

Hello @Pedro_Pais,

What is the use case for User context?

Is there something you intend to acquire from a user context that currently isn’t available on the current machine the Automation executes on?

I’m asking because unlike an HTTP/Web API request, the automation executes with the privileges granted to the current machine.

There may be other answers, but in my opinion one of the ways you can get to the user information are these activities already existing in UiPath:

Thanks

Apps provides some global references that you can use at design time to utilize information about the runtime user: User Context References
