Getting wrong logged User().Email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by pbernardes 50

We have a CANVAS custom page running in a Model-Driven app, that needs to get who is the logged user.

 

We have an issue when different users use the same computer. Besides the Model-driven logged user is correct, the custom page is getting User().Email  from the previous logged user.

 

How can I reset the previous logged user and get the actual one? Is possible to get the model-driven logged user?

    Hi @pbernardes ,

     

    I'm assuming the different users have selected the "Stay logged in" option, which may cause this. At the top right of the screen you can see the currently logged in user:

     Can you confirm if this user matches the return of User()? If it doesn't please try logging out any other users.

    Hi @BCBuizer!

     

    The users doesn't match. The user showed in the model-driven app is the right one.

     

    Yes, if all users logout or just cleanup their cache it will work but, in the real life, users will leave the app without logout.

     

    If the Powerapps cannot identify the real currently logged user, it looks to me an important security issue.

    I guess only MS Support Engineers can look through what is going on based on the session ID.

    Hi @pbernardes ,

     

    This seems to be more of an issue caused by the shared use of a machine than it is a security issue in Power Apps. 

     

    Perhaps the option to automatically sign out the user upon exiting the app may help and close this gap: Exit function in Power Apps - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn
