Hi,

 

is there any tool in Designer from that can I get current username and user emailaddress information? (Maybe during a macro-running)

 

Best regards

Mathias

Hello @mathias_schnoor ,

 

Currently there is no tool for you to get the actual username or email address in the designer.

 

There is a way through to get it in the server (Gallery) with a textbox with the parameter __cloud:UserId

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Very old post, but I thought I would add this as I came across it. In a formula tool, you can use GetEnvironmentVariable("USERNAME") to get the running user.

Hi, this would require Alteryx Server to achieve as far as I understand. You can use the Sever api to obtain the current username and user email address information. If this helps, please like the post and mark it as the solution. Thank you!
