Get username __Cloud not working?

[jbravman_]

So taking @mbarone's flow for getting username from workflows on the gallery but its not writing anything to our output. 

could this be something wrong with our Alteryx Gallery or something different?

Server running 2019.3.17947

Designer running 2019.1

TIA

Hey there alt_tush,

You have to join that user ID you get from __cloud:UserId to the MongoDB user list generated from your MongoDB input too, running it on the 'users' collection. Once joined, you can grab the email from the MongoDB data to use in the rest of your workflow.

Hi Nate

May you share how did you do that, I put the mongoDb input tool in my workflow, but have no idea how to config it. Thanks

i'm also facing the same issue, did you find any solution?

[zhuyyu]

I did, with IT help. You need remote to the server, get to the configuration page to get those information.

Can someone please share a sample workflow for this? I looked for it everywhere but cant find one. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Shahbaz_Chase , if you search "barone mongo" you'll find 3 workflows in the Gallery that you can download.  That should get you started, but as others have said, you'll need you Server Administrator to give you the password from the Server Settings Configuration.

Hello NathanOch ,
I was doing the same you you told. I joined the user ID i got from the __cloud:UserId with the MongoDB input tool and I got the username , email, windows display name.

But in the 2024 version the MongoDB input tool is deprecated. Now how to get these details ? Please help.
