Finding out current logged in user's login id / email id and other information

Posted on by Community Member

I am looking to find some information of the logged in user, like the login id/email id and some other stuff using XRM tools in JavaScript.

I have tried the Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext(), but the information provided in this object isn't sufficient for what I want to achieve.

To give some context, I m trying to fetch some information from my Azure AD using the currently logged in user's context.

Can someone please advice a way out?

Hi,

With new javascript API (called v9) you can get user settings with codes below, however returned data a bit different on legacy web UI and Unified Interface.

var globalContext = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext(); var settings = globalContext.userSettings;

You can find details on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/xrm-utility/getglobalcontext and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/xrm-utility/getglobalcontext/usersettings

Hey,

The "Xrm.Page.context.getUserId()." didn't yield the desired result and neither did the article.

The post that you have given the link to seems interesting and I am yet to try that.

Will get back to you on that!

Hi anktify,

If

var context = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext(); var userId = context.userSettings.userId;

is invalid, try using Xrm.Page.context.getUserId().

You could refer to this post and this article.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
