Dynatrace App Current user information

[StephenLHChan]

Hey,

We are trying to build an app. We need the current user information, like name, login id/email, user groups, for further processing. Is there any SDK available that can return me this kind of information?

Thanks.

Stephen

I am not shure, but you can do it by APIs

Hi @StephenLHChan 

The team is currently working on an SDK which should give you such kind of information. Unfortunately I can't give you an ETA for it.

Best,

Hi @StephenLHChan, the SDK package is planned for 23CQ3.

In the meanwhile, you could use the service documented in the swagger spec:

https://{environmentid}.apps.dynatrace.com/platform/swagger-ui/index.html?urls.primaryName=Identity%20and%20Access%20Management

Hi @sw and @sinisa_zubic ,

Are you guys talking the same SDK?

Apologize if there is any misleading at my question.

@sw gave the url which is the endpoint get all users' information but what I am looking for is if there is a way to get the current user information who use the app.

For example, userA click on the app and the SDK will return userA's information to me. And, I will know userA had used the app. I may then ingest logs/ custom events to Dynatrace after userA triggered certain actions.

It is to fulfil some audit requirements at my company.

Thanks!

Yes we are talking about the same SDK. @sw should know more details

Hi @StephenLHChan 

Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, the SDK package will provide information as:

• currently logged in user
• Environment ID and URL
• App ID, name, version

May I ask for your use case, why do you need the user groups too?

[StephenLHChan]

hi @sw 

it is for access right control. If I know the user group of the users, I can limited certain pages of the app only to some users.

[sw]

Thanks @StephenLHChan  for the insights! This won't be part of this package for now, but I'll discuss this with the team.

Hi @sw ,

Has there been any update on the SDK yet?

[sw]

The package providing this information (except user groups) is now available: https://developer.dynatrace.com/develop/sdks/app-environment/

I also have the same use case to shield of pages for default users; I would like to be able to access the user groups through the SDK.

Hi @DaveOps, a new SDK will soon be available to access the user groups. I'll let you know when it's out.

Best, Edu.

Can I enroll as a beta tester to get early access to the sdk ?
