Get current user

The Confluence get current user action retrieves details about the currently authenticated Confluence account. This is a read-only action that can be used to confirm which user the action is running as and to fetch user details for permission checks or audit trails.

Prerequisites

• Glean action must be enabled for your instance and the Confluence action pack must be available.

Supported parameters

This action does not accept any input parameters. It always returns information for the currently authenticated Confluence user.

Usage examples

• "Before I update the product roadmap page, verify which Confluence account I am using."

• "What Confluence account am I currently logged in as?"

• "Fetch the Confluence ID and email of the current user so a downstream action can assign them as the owner of a new page."

Troubleshooting

• Possible cause: The Confluence connector does not have an active, authenticated account for this action.
• Fix: Verify that Confluence is connected for this user and that actions are enabled. Reconnect the Confluence account and try the action again.

• Possible cause: The connector is not authorized to call user/current, or the READ permission for user APIs is missing or misconfigured.
• Fix: Ask a Glean admin to confirm that the Confluence connector is fully set up and that the Confluence app configuration allows calling the user/current endpoint with READ scope.

• Possible cause: Temporary issues with the Confluence API or Glean action infrastructure.
• Fix: Retry the action. If problems persist, have an admin review Confluence connector health and logs.
