Cannot access System.User.DisplayName

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 23

Hello

 

When the user sends a message, I am able to get it on my backend using Post with formula converted to JSON. 2 questions please:

 

  1. I access the text sent using System.Activity.Text  (Hope that's the right one to use)
  2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/authoring-variables?tabs=webApp#using-the-variables-pane taks about variables that are "hidden" and "visible". However, I am not able to access "System.User.DisplayName". (screenshot below) Why is that? Is this a bug? Or am i blind to some basic things here on using Copilot in teams?

 

Thanks in advance!

    The documentation needs to improve with cross links and other info

     

    I found the solution here --> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/configuration-end-user-authentication
