Identify User in Native App Log

[J11]

It would be nice to see which users are responsible for logged sessions. It would be especially nice to see which users are responsible for errors.

Good suggestion - added to our issue tracker.

The usual factors apply in what we prioritise:

If people reply to this thread saying they’d like this, it will be more of a priority.

We will make a priority of features that are requested by somebody on a support contract - if anybody wishes to discuss further, contact us on support@anvil.works.

You can also sponsor the implementing of a specific feature - again, contact us on support@anvil.works to discuss further.

Achieving this yourself

The App Logs are grouped into sessions, so if you run print(anvil.users.get_user()) when the user logs in, you’ll get the user name at the top of the session.

Here’s an app that does that:

And here are the App Logs that result from the two user sessions I ran in that GIF:

First user:

Second user:

(Edited - I had a more fiddly solution then I rememberd that App Logs are grouped into sessions!)

Thanks Shaun. I appreciate your quick response. I suppose more robust error handling on my end is the real answer and I clearly do have the capabilities to employ all of the error handling and resulting actions that I want.
