Hi everyone, I encountered an issue with the Homey.users.getUserMe() function when using it in Homey Script. Expected Behavior: When I run Homey.users.getUserMe() on the Homey Developer platform, it correctly returns my information (e.g., my role, name, etc.), as expected. Actual Behavior: …

The way I see it you found a bug. I’ve tried the same, same results (Pro 2019)

Conclusion the script always runs in the context of the owner. And that is logical imho as who should be the user when something happens like a door opend… At least you can’t expect Homey to asume it is someone else. Best case it should run then in system or some other low priv user context Syst…

I understand your logic, but I don’t think it’s intentional, because it means that someone who can create a flow will execute it as the owner.

[image] Baptiste_Dhaussy: and another application that could allow you to do this in a flow. What other application?

Sorry, it’s not “and” but “or”. I’m looking for another application that might help me in my search, such as homey script or advanced device capabilities.
