Context API for User-Based Filtering

Import and Usage

import { getContext } from '@microsoft/power-apps/app';

// Get current user information
const ctx = await getContext();

// User context
const userEmail = ctx.user.userPrincipalName;  // e.g., "[email protected]"
const fullName = ctx.user.fullName;             // e.g., "John Smith"
const objectId = ctx.user.objectId;             // User's Azure AD object ID
const tenantId = ctx.user.tenantId;             // Tenant ID

// App context
const appId = ctx.app.appId;                    // App ID
const environmentId = ctx.app.environmentId;    // Environment ID
const queryParams = ctx.app.queryParams;        // URL query parameters

// Host context
const sessionId = ctx.host.sessionId;           // Changes each time app opens
