Getting User ID of login user

[former_member411491]

Hi Geeks,

In SAP analytic Cloud I want to validate the same report as per there access role.

Do I get the user ID of a login user instead of his name? I know I can get the username be using current user() function using a dynamic text box.

But here I am interested in User ID how can I get that? and how can i assign dynamic data access to the same story as per there designation?

An example in the same story :

CEO can see all the cost center.

Finance manager can only see the finance cost center data

HR manager can see the only the HR cost center data

Regards,

SG

Hi Sanjay,

If the ultimate goal is to assign dynamically roles, you can do that if you use a custom SAML Identity Provider and map SAML attributes to roles in SAP Analytics Cloud:

Thank You Julian.

Is there any way to get User ID of a login in user in SAP Analytics Cloud?

I didn't understand how it works with SAML because I want to show dynamic data in the same story as per login user.

Could you please help me to explain more in details to achieve my requirements.

SG
