Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get the active users on a table but I'm able to get only their usernames with a for loop and getSessionInfo() function. I can read the full name (First and Last name) in the Test Login/Mapped User Attributes.

How can I get their full names instead of usernames on the table?

You can call out to system.user.getUser() to gather that information

```python
	sessionInfo = system.perspective.getSessionInfo(projectFilter="YourProjectNameHere")
	for index, sessionObj in enumerate(sessionInfo):
	    uInfo = system.user.getUser('', sessionObj["username"])
	    system.perspective.print(uInfo.get('lastname'))
	    system.perspective.print(uInfo.get('firstname'))

```

Hi MMaynard,

I'm getting this error:

Authentication providers shouldn't change this data, the user sessions should be stored the same way regardless of IdP.

This only works with user sources, not with Identity Providers.
