How to get username inside a update plugin

Posted on by windyMill 437

Hi Folks , 

Please help me to find the username inside a update plugin.

Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
Entity opp = new Entity("acc");
acc.Id = entity.Id;

acc.Attributes["new_loggedIn"] = context.UserId;

Thanks

    Hello,

    You can get user's id from context.UserId. The next step is to retrieve the name using endpoint:

    var username = service.Retrieve("systemuser", context.UserId, new ColumnSet("fullname")).GetAttributeValue<string>("fullname");

    This is OrganizationServiceProxy  -

    Here you go - 

    IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext) serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

    // Obtain the organization service reference.

    IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));

    IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
