Posted on by SK-06111848-0

I am trying to show only Current User Data in vibe code Power Apps which i'm building in https://vibe.powerapps.com/. In canvas have we have User() function using it we can fetch user data but in vibe code app i'm not able to show the current user data. For Example if samri@abc.com using the app and his email id is there in Employee Email column then his data only shows in the app. Any help will be really appreciated. Thank you

@SK-06111848-0,

User() is a Canvas-only function. Vibe Code apps do NOT expose User() the same way. That’s why your existing approach works in Canvas but not in Vibe.

The Vibe app runtime environment currently has limitations in how it exposes user context APIs. As a result, certain APIs required by the Microsoft 365 connector to retrieve user profile information are not fully supported. Microsoft has acknowledged this behavior as a known limitation of the Vibe preview experience, rather than a defect, and it is not yet available as part of General Availability (GA).

Hi @SK-06111848-0,

Vibe apps are built on the Power Apps Code Apps framework, not canvas apps, so the User() function is not available.

The equivalent is the getContext() function.

In the Vibe chat, tell the agent:

"Filter the Timesheet Records to only show records where Employee Email matches the current signed-in user's email. Use the getContext() function to get the current user and filter by ctx.user.userPrincipalName"

The agent will generate code like this:

const ctx = await getContext();
const currentUserEmail = ctx.user.userPrincipalName;
// then filter your Timesheet records where Employee Email == currentUserEmail

This is the confirmed way to get the signed-in user's email in a Vibe/Code app and use it to filter your Dataverse data.

Best regards,

Valantis

Thank you so much Valantis, 11manish and MS.Ragavendar for replying. I have opened the microsoft documentation shared by you and copied the info give there in chatgpt and asked it to create a prompt for me to Use the getContext() function to get the current user and used the same prompt in Vibe code AI and it worked like magic. Thank you so much for your help
