If  you are looking for change visibility of dialog property  based on user permissions / user cred, you can use renderconditions.

Create rendercondition like /libs/granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/renderconditions/privilege and use it on the dialog field like /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/annotate/jcr:content/actions/moveasset/granite:rendercondition.

If you want to get the user details in the dialog field, you should use jackrabit Usermanager API

Hi nirmaljosehere

Thanks for writing. I need to the the user who is updating the component in dialog listener (Touch UI). I want to store the user id/name of author who is updating the specific textarea(only) of a component. Assume a component has 5 fields in dialog, AEM stores the lastModifiedBy if any of those fields updated. I want to store the user name only when one(specific filed, say text area) of those five fields got updated.

Thanks.

I don't know any quick route for this one, but you can implement the below.

1. Create a servlet like /bin/getCurrentUser using logic in [1] (not to create user, but to get current user )

2. The servlet should send back the current user

3. Create a listener for the dialog fields you need and write a listener logic to invoke the servlet and update the response to the specific field.

Finally found it.

Granite.author.ContentFrame.getUserID()

There is an JSON API which return current user details, In case needed somewhere else.
