How to get current logged in user details in workflow process step

[mani_kandan1]

I tried to get current logged in user using session and authorizable. But none of them giving the current user.

Is there any other way to get the current user details ?

Are you referring to initiator of the workflow user if that’s the case then please refer to https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/is-it-possible-to-get-the-...

current user can be found from session object 

session.getUserID();

I am not sure what’s the use case you have to get the current use in workflow process step and I believe in workflow you work with workflow session and not the current user session.

Hi,

I need to check initiator and approver are same user or not. 

session.getUserID()

will return workflow-service user id not the user who logged in.

A workflow process step is a piece of code, which runs in the background. For that it is not bound to a HTTP request and also not to a user in the first place. 

That means that in a process step the concept of a "current user" simply does not exist.
