Hi ambrishs695,

AFAIK, Current logged in user feature is not available in Appian. Please refer below plug-ins, might be helpful.

Hi Mike,
It's been a while since this question was raised, Do you know any solution as of now to find currently logged in users? We have a need to pull currently logged in users as it is a very time sensitive activity to be completed.

Vinrod, what is the use case? If you had this information, what capability would it enable?

Few ideas: 1) to check with login-audit.csv every time -> not a good idea if you have distributed system and logs are not centralized 2) Push login data in periodically in DB and check with login time from DB + default session timeout 3) Not recommended, write you own 'session listener' (configure in web.xml) to push login data into db (extracted from SPRING_SECURITY_CONTEXT) everytime when user login or logout.

Thanks dominics,kevinb807. Yes, we can see it from the admin console but am looking to get this info from API or any functions.

As mentioned in the previous post, this information is available via the Admin console. However, there does not appear to be any public API to get this data. Please see the following tempo post for more information:

You can see current logged in users by going to the admin console. Under Monitoring in the side bar select Current User Activity. This will give you a list of all users currently logged into the system.
