Add User Details

The Add User Details processor adds in to a process details of the authenticated EDQ user calling the Web Service or Job where the process is used.

Add User Details is normally used in applications that use EDQ Web Services for data validation, cleansing or matching. Capturing the details of the authenticated user in the EDQ process is useful for two reasons:

  • To keep a full audit trail of all records processed including details of the user that entered/updated the record

  • So that the process can use the user details, for example to send an email to the authenticated user's address with the results of data processing

For example, where EDQ is used to screen individuals against watchlists, an email may be sent out to the authenticated user of the individual screening service with the result of the matching process, using the email address stored for the user in EDQ (as set up by an administrator in User Configuration). Additional user details, such as organization and phone number, may be added to the audit trail so that complete information on the user submitting the record is retained.
