It seems that the Email field is not configured correctly in your identity provider.

When I use the OSUser() function in Qlik SaaS, I am presented with the email of the user.

When you navigate to the Management Console and "Users", can you see the email of the individual users?

BTW, I have no idea how to fix this but this is where I would start to look...

Hi,

Do you mean, change the sub in the Qlik SAAS mgmt console settings (claims mapping) to email?

I have changed the 'sub' value to 'email' like this:

But when using the 'OSuser()' function I still get a numeric code like this instead of email:

Is there anything else you need to do to get the 'OSuser()' function to return the user's email?

hi,

after changing to email, you have to authenticate again against AD (azure)

Hi,

What if you're not using an external Idp, and you're just leveraging local accounts created in SaaS - is there a way to return the logged in user's email address or username instead of the lengthily user Id?

Hi. @scottduthie Looking to solve same problem here. Did you manage to solve it?
I would like tog get the email-address from OSUSER but I only use local Qlik accounts and have no external identity provider. In the user-section I can see the emails.

The value returned in the cloud from OSUser() is the user subject.

I was able to solve the problem by loading the user list into my app. You can get the code to pull the list from the Access Evaluator monitor app.

Then you can use this function to get the e-mail.

=Only({<UserSubject={"$(=SubField(OSUser(),'=',-1))"}>}UserEmail)

You can replace UserEmail with UserName or any other field brought back from the REST API

Bonjour à tous,

Je pense que la solution est connue maintenant mais je ne la vois pas dans cette discussion.

Sur Qlik Cloud pour obtenir l'adresse mail de la personne dont la session est active:

GetUserAttr('userEmail')

Peut s'utiliser pour chacher/monter des feuilles de manière conditionnelle
