Hi Rishabh,

Please use Third party API to get the principal users .

OR

SAP HCP provides a service which can be used to obtain user information as well as log off the user. The details regarding the userapi can be found at

https://help.hana.ondemand.com/help/frameset.htm?1de599bf722446849d2b2e10132df42a.html

Here’s is the example on how this can be acheived within SAP Web IDE.

Adding the User Details to a View

Add a route into the neo-app.json to reference the userapi

{
        "path": "/services/userapi",
        "target": {
            "type": "service",
            "name": "userapi"
        }
    }

Create a json model to call the service

var userModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel("/services/userapi/currentUser");
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(userModel, "userapi");

Now within a view create some fields to display the data returned by the service

<Label text="User Name"></Label>
<Text xmlns="sap.m" text="{userapi>/name}"></Text>
<Label text="First Name"></Label>
<Text xmlns="sap.m" text="{userapi>/firstName}"></Text>
<Label text="Last Name"></Label>
<Text xmlns="sap.m" text="{userapi>/lastName}"></Text>
<Label text="Display Name"></Label>
<Text xmlns="sap.m" text="{userapi>/displayName}"></Text>
<Label text="Email"></Label>
<Text xmlns="sap.m" text="{userapi>/email}"></Text>

This blog helped for me https://blogs.sap.com/2019/05/23/how-to-get-the-email-of-the-logged-in-user-in-cloud-foundry/

The blog uses the mail address as example but you can get more info about the user if needed.

Hello Ajay,

I haven't tried the below snippet,

var oUser = sap.ui2.shell.getUser();

oUser.load({}, function() {

var userID = oUser.getId();

}

Try if it works.

Ashmita Sinha

Hello Rishabh,

Are you able to use the same "userapi" service for the projects which will run on CP and CF?

I have used this service in a project and deployed the same in CF, but it fails to get data.
