python API: ability to get the details of the user running a python command

Hi Michael,

Thank you for submitting the idea,

Can you add more information about the exact use case, why do you need to know this? I mean is it an admin trying to debug a command? several users working on the same sandbox and trying to understand who did what?

Thanks

hi Meni

In our case, the main reason is to make sure that a user is really running commands and using the reservation appropriately. Main reason we are using cloudshell is to make efficient use of the resources. So if a user reservation starts and no action is performed, we want to end the reservation. So for that we need logs, to make sure that the user is really using the resources. Also the use case of several users suing the same sandbox is applicable, since we want to know who is doing what.

Thanks

Thanks, I understand the use case now, I changed the idea to 'Considering' - we will consider implementing it based on its effort and priority.

Hi,

I am happy to update that this idea is partially implemented in CloudShell 9.0, which was released about a week ago.
In 9.0 there is a new context available in orchestration scripts (a.k.a "blueprint commands") called reservationLifecycleDetails and it includes the username of the user which actually launched the command. Note that this context is not available in resource driers or scripts.

Alona.

Hi Michael,

This is done using reservationContextDetails. We have a section about this class in the dev guide's Getting the user context article.
