Set the username using the Set User Identity action.

The fields for the Set User Identity action are as seen in the following figure.

Set User Identity Action

Note: If the Set User Identity rule is followed by a Transform rule, then any data processing logs generated in Forensics are logged with the user set using the Set User Identity rule.

In addition, the user set using the Set User Identity rule overrides the user set in the Transform rules for auditing any data processing logs in Forensics.

Note: If the “Set User Identity” rule is configured along with Basic Authentication, then the “user_name” field in the transaction metrics will be set with the username configured in the “Set User Identity” rule.

If Basic Authentication is configured without the “Set User Identity” rule, then the “user_name” field in the transaction metrics displays the username configured in the Basic Authentication.
