Hey I recall you mentioned a while back in

Question

Hey < Ketan kumare3 > I recall you mentioned a while back in one of our syncs that the metadata fields to expose users who submitted workflows may be available by the API but isn t exposed in the frontend today it d be possible to specify a user even without auth basically so we can identify runs in the UI based on the user who launched it Do you have any other color here could someone give me some pointers

Rahul Mehta · Answer

There are a number of UI improvements in flyteconsole that we re looking into amp I d be willing to even temporarily run a forked version for a while as we iterate on our ideal UX Happy to chat more about this too

Rahul Mehta · Answer

We ve got a hackathon coming up and might tee some of these improvements up as a project

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

sorry disregard previous one

Ketan (kumare3) · Answer

you can populate the execution metadata from pyflyte run and it should be allowed only if auth is disabled

Rahul Mehta · Answer

My understanding is that `principal` won t be rendered in flyteconsole today but that s pretty simple to wire up is that accurate
