I come across advise to use the identity service from a service task to retrieve details about a specific user, including the email address. Now question is how to get identityService variable. Is it available by default in service task. If not then how to get identityService variable? and where to put whole code?

Yes you can retrieve the EngineServices on the DelegateExecution and from there retrieve the Identity service.

Hi guys,

I am also trying to get the username of a user. I am using the identityservice in a scripttask, like this:

var idService = processEngine.getIdentityService();
var keys = idService.getUserInfoKeys(person);‍‍

However, the 'var keys' is empty. The 'person' variable should be the userId.

I got this userId like this:

var person = execution.getVariable('personField');‍

Where personField is a formField where I can select a single person. The userId is something like '2002' in my case. Is this correct, or do I maybe have a formFieldId or something?

Best regards,

Martijn
