      Description

      There are several ways to retrieve informations about the logged user:

      • POST site/automation/login (Automation, currently used), it returns:
        {
          "entity-type": "login",
          "username": "Administrator",
          "isAdministrator": true,
          "groups": [
            "administrators"
          ]
        }
      • GET site/api/v1/me (REST API), it returns:
        {
          "entity-type": "user",
          "id": "Administrator",
          "properties": {
            "firstName": "",
            "lastName": "",
            "tenantId": null,
            "groups": [
              "administrators"
            ],
            "company": "",
            "email": "devnull@nuxeo.com",
            "username": "Administrator"
          },
          "extendedGroups": [
            {
              "name": "administrators",
              "label": "Administrators group",
              "url": "group/administrators"
            }
          ],
          "isAdministrator": true,
          "isAnonymous": false
        }

      Let's move to the GET approach, no need to POST data for such information.

      It will also fix the current behavior: as of now a User model is created, but the retrieved entity-type is login and not user, so the current object is lacking of data.
