Hello @aaedla

You can use below script

For Getting Logged in User Name :

var UserName = Xrm.Page.context.getUserName();

For getting Logged in User Email

var loggedinUserId = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userId.replace("{","").replace("}",""); Xrm.WebApi.online.retrieveRecord("systemuser", loggedinUserId , "?$select=internalemailaddress").then( function success(result) { var internalemailaddress = result["internalemailaddress"]; }, function(error) { Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message); } );

Hi @aaedla ,

To get the Current logged-in User FullName :-
--> var userSettings = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings;
--> var userFullName = userSettings.userName;

To get the User email address we need to retrieve the User Record :-

var userSettings = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings;
var userGUID = userSettings.userId;

Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("systemuser", userGUID, "?$select=internalemailaddress,fullname").then(
function success(result) {
console.log("Retrieved values: Name: " + result.internalemailaddress + ", Revenue: " + result.fullname);
// perform operations on record retrieval
},
function (error) {
console.log(error.message);
// handle error conditions
}
);

Thanks,
Manoj.

Hello @aaedla,

1. Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com
2. Click Dataverse --> Expand Tables --> Open Table where you want to input your script
3. Click Forms --> Open Main Form --> Make Sure you are not clicking inside the WHITE BAR where the field is available, click Outside

SCREENSHOT FOR YOUR REFERENCE

Once you clicked at the Right side click events and input your onload Events 🙂

I didn't find any way to auto populate current user email id in a model driven application field. I used power automate to update the field.

Please let me know if there is any way to auto populate without using power automate flow.

@manojmane Is it Possible to add an If statement for the OnLoad event to only run if the field is blank? When opening a record, it will always change the field you configure the OnLoad event for, as the logged in user.

For those who don't want to use Javascript for this, I realized that the built-in Owner field always defaults to the current user, so I just set the default value to owner using a simple 1 step business rule. Even if owner changes, by choosing the "set default value" option, it shouldn't change when the owner does going forward.
