Hi @Swetavora 

See this thread. In short, use a text box and name it '__cloud:UserId'. This passes the ID which you can then bounce against the gallery's mongoDB to get the username, email ,etc.

Can you please let me know from where exactly I can retrieve the MongoDB Server details to fill the MongoDB input tool.

Hi @anuninan07 

You'd need to work with your server's admin to get that information. Recently I've gone away from the mongoDB input tool and instead use the gallery APIs. With this I can get a list of users from the API and then join to the __cloud:UserId to get who is running the workflow.
