Vault 2015 API how to get the user name of logged user.

[raghulan]

I need to get the user who currently logged in to the client.

could anyone provide a sample code on this please.

I tried to get the security header value but it doesnt work.

From the Connection object, you can just read the UserName property.

Just incase if some one needs this.

I was using a WPF window and it is different from the samples which are still in winfoms where the static main is manually altered where as in wpf its autogenerated, even editing it manually will not work.

Here is the work flow for wpf devs (Check static main in wpf in google to understand how to have ur own static main in wpf)

in App.Xamls.cs

[STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            App app = new App();
            VDF.Vault.Forms.Settings.LoginSettings settings = new VDF.Vault.Forms.Settings.LoginSettings();
            VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection connection = VDF.Vault.Forms.Library.Login(settings);

            if (connection == null)
                return;

            MainWindow window = new MainWindow(connection);
            app.Run(window);

            VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogOut(connection);
        }

In App.g.cs

 VaultWinApp.App app = new VaultWinApp.App();
            app.InitializeComponent();
            app.Run();

In mainWindow 

have the following to store the connection and that can be used locally

private VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection m_connection;

Now access the userId, Username and other connection object as follows

m_connection.UserID.ToString()
m_connection.UserName.ToString();

 Hope it helps someone.

Using the connection object to get the user name only works when you are NOT using the windows authentication login.

If using the WA you can use

dim strUserName As String = Environ("Username")

Hello,

so you  say, that there is no API to read email logged User?

I'm logged user and I'm not able read my own mail by Vault API???

Seriously?

Please note - this thread has been specific to the connection object's information about the user.
You can get all properties of a user's Vault account info using the "User" object. Starting in Vault 2019 a custom role allows reading this information and can be shared to all users or certain groups.
Hope this clarifies.

Hello,
Your get the UserId for Example 

Public Enum eGetUser
    Mail 
    Name 
End Enum
....
Dim allVltUsers As Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.User() = Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.AdminService.GetAllUsers()

For Each myUser As ACW.User In allVltUsers
    If myUser.Id.ToString = cUserId Then
        Select Case eArt
              Case eGetUser.Mail : Return myUser.Email
              Case eGetUser.Name : Return myUser.Name
       End Select
End If
Next

So you can get any Information from the User ...

Ok, but function 

public User[] GetAllUsers()

has 

Required Permissions

AdminUserRead

Anyone logged user has this permission?

[martinxw]

I think, the solution is use function 

public User GetUserByUserId( 
   System.long userId
)

Required Permissions

None if the logged in user's Id is entered. Otherwise AdminUserRead is required.
