Issue with getting job user by using Extract Context Properties

KNIME Business Hub
1

Hello,

I am facing an issue by getting the “context.workflow.user” within a workflow.

If i am running it as a developer on the Hub i am getting the user accordingly:

account:user:f03…

This represents the individual users and a can link with user information like email.

If regular users are executing the workflow via an app deployment i am getting this

account:app-pw:fe3…

and it is the same for all users. No differentiation between the users executing the workflow.

The Hub version is 5.8.1v202512051053

Curious if someone have the same issue or any idea how to solve it.

Many thanks,

Lars

Hi larsgrohmann,

Please share a few more details about what you want to achieve exactly and, if possible, a sample workflow so we can review your case more closely?

In general, app-pw means the endpoint is using an application password to execute the workflow.

If you describe your use case, we may be able to suggest an alternative solution. If that’s more convenient, please feel free to send the details to support@knime.com.
