How to parse auth token and get user details in PVA bot?

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have configured user auth as mentioned here on my PVA bot.
I have configured Flow to send a token from PVA bot to flow.
I am able to verify that my flow is able to receive a token ( after user sign in ) from PVA variable. ( seen in the screenshot bellow. )
I would like to know how can I parse this token and, get the user details of sign in user? I know I can call all MS graph APIs using this token but, that is not I am trying to do here.
I would like to parse this token, something like what https://jwt.io/ does.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The unique way to do it is by calling the Power Automate passing the AuthToken and inside your Power Automate, call back-end APIs to get more details related to the user.
I recommend that call the MS Graph to get more details, it is an easy and great way.

Hello @Anonymous .

I am struggling with exactly the same case as you, did you find a solution to this issue?

I tried to suggestion to use graph api and call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me with the token but I get error:
{
  "error": {
    "code": "InvalidAuthenticationToken",
    "message": "Access token validation failure. Invalid audience.",
    "innerError": {
      "date": "2020-06-19T12:57:36",
      "request-id": "ed87e114-ffe2-4ae2-b52c-5e41774ae2ff"
    }
  }
}

As a solution I setup a Azure function to take the token, decode it and used regex to retrieve the value I needed.
