Autotask - User ID of person running it?

[CraigP]

Is the user ID of the person running an Autotask stored anywhere that can be accessed from the Autotask workflow?

I was hoping that there would be some kind of accessible "session" variables like there are for Capture Forms, or at least that the "Auto" option for the User ID on HB Automations like "Get User Details" would use the ID of the person running the Autotask, but this does not appear to be the case.

Hi @CraigP

Thanks for your post.

There is a discussion here that I believe is what you are looking for.  The session variable is  &[global["session"]["userId"]]

I hope that helps.

Fantastic, exactly what I was looking for, thanks James!

It does seem to bring up a "The node is referencing a context variable that does not exist" warning when validating the process, but it worked as intended once published anyway.

Yes, it does give that warning.  Sorry, I forgot to mention.  However, as you have already found, you can ignore the warning.
