Dynamic Rest API Query Based on Authenticated User
Hi Anonymous
I think this is not possible. As your data sources are various APIs, you can only use Import mode to connect to them. With Import mode, you need to connect to data sources and import data into the data model of your report first. Then you can use these data from the data model to create a report. When your users view this report, the data they see is loaded from the data model rather than from the data sources. So you cannot identify the users' email addresses and use them to query data from the data sources.
Hope this helps.

Bumping to clarify my question. Really all I need to know is if it possible to get some sort of unique identefier from the person viewing the report and put it in a variable.
