Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve the email of an authenticated user via AngularJS services in the Primo NUI? Having the user email would help with retrieving fine/fees data from the Alma API for use in a custom script for integration with online payment systems.

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian. 

You should be able to retrieve the email address.  If I sign in and use the network tab in Chrome, I can see the data, including the email address at the following -- 


personal_settings?lang=eng
/primo_library/libweb/webservices/rest/v1/myaccount/personal_settings?lang=eng
