Get current logged in user in Remote event receivers

Question

I have to get current logged in user in provider hosted app remote event receiver.

I used the below code to get the current user name, but I got current user name as Sharepoint App instead of Current logged in user.

currentUser = clientContext.Web.CurrentUser; clientContext.Load(currentUser, x => x.LoginName, y => y.Id); clientContext.Load(currentUser, Z => Z.Title); clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

How to get the current logged in user?

I want the current logged in user in Process event of remote event receiver.any help will be appreciated , thanks in advance.

I got the current logged in user using properties.ItemEventProperties.UserLoginName in the ProcessOneWayEvent //This is the sample code UserCreationInformation userInfo = new UserCreationInformation(); userInfo.Title = properties.ItemEventProperties.UserDisplayName; userInfo.LoginName = properties.ItemEventProperties.UserLoginName; User currUser = functionGroup.Users.Add(userInfo); functionGroup.Users.AddUser(currUser); functionGroup.Update(); clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

var personProperties; // Ensure that the SP.UserProfiles.js file is loaded before the custom code runs. SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getUserProperties 'SP.UserProfiles.js' ); function getUserProperties() { // Replace the placeholder value with the target user's credentials. var targetUser = domainName\userName ; // Get the current client context and PeopleManager instance. var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext); // Get user properties for the target user. // To get the PersonProperties object for the current user use the // getMyProperties method. personProperties = peopleManager.getPropertiesFor(targetUser); // Load the PersonProperties object and send the request. clientContext.load(personProperties); clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSuccess onRequestFail); } // This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call succeeds. function onRequestSuccess() { // Get a property directly from the PersonProperties object. var messageText =  \DisplayName\ property is  + personProperties.get_displayName(); // Get a property from the UserProfileProperties property. messageText +=  \Department\ property is  + personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()[ 'Department' ]; $get( results ).innerHTML = messageText; } // This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call fails. function onRequestFail(sender args) { $get( results ).innerHTML = Error:  + args.get_message(); }
