Pulling the user info into the app from who ran it on the gallery

[The_Dev_Kev_Env]

HI All,

I am hoping this is a silly question and there if a variable/constant I can drop into the workflow for this, but I want to bring the username of who is running the app into the workflow to dictate how the workflow runs. Does anyone know what that variable might be?

Workarounds I'd like to steer clear from:

- Handling the authentication through manually maintained authentication tables that I am comparing parameters I give the user (user, pw) . Clunky and multiple areas of authentication.

- Changing configuration of gallery to prompt for credentials before running app. I believe this would also require us granting privileges on the server to run apps for each user we would do this for. And I still think I'd have to use some run command to get that user info.

Any answers here are appreciated!

Best,

Kevin

Sure, here you go.  Just replace the host & PW in the mongo inputs.  The app / module names as they appear in the gallery are in there.

Do you mind sharing these workflows ( user to Collection  )

this workflow does not work correctly

Hi @DeepakTyagi ,

Do you mean YXMD1 isn't working correctly?  What are the errors?  What are the configurations you're using?  

[DeepakTyagi]

In the transpose tool the Data Fields are not selected ( i am not sure which ones to select to I selected all) and following that Filter tools is looking to filter for the criteria Right([Name2],6)=='UserID' && !IsEmpty([Value])

Right([Name2],6)=='UserID' && !IsEmpty([Value])

but there is UserID suffix in any of the fields.After  that it is summarizing on CollectionId which is missing , So i am not sure if I am understanding it wrong or there is any missing information

[DeepakTyagi]

can you please share the workflow that could provide me with User to Collections mapping

[mbarone]

The workflow posted (YXMD1) will do that for you.  In order to help you trouble shoot, I'd have to see your configurations of the Mongo tools.  Do you have data coming out of the Mongo tools?

[mbarone]

If it's just the transpose tool giving you trouble, you want to select CollectionID & Name on the top, and then everything EXCEPT those two on the bottom.  If your mongo configurations are working, that should do the trick.

Hi,

Did you get any solution for this. I am also looking for a solution to get the collection information from where the app is being run from.

[Jithendra]

Hi,

It would be great if you can provide the workflow which you are using to get all these combination of data.

Thank you,

Jithendra.
