I am not sure which details you mean? We don’t have much user details except user name…  
User activity data is stored into event log:

> **[Repository Event Log - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The...](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/content-repository/repository-event-log.html)**
>
> The fast and flexible on-premise or PaaS headless CMS

somewhat related:

From what context do you need the user name? If it’s in the context of a logged in user, then you can get it from the UserSession. I think something like:

```auto
UserSession.get().getJcrSession().getUser().getId()

```

Otherwise there is usually a userid on whatever data you are processing. Log events should have a property saynig what user is responsible. Off the top of my head I don’t remember what the property is called, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find out by looking at the events.

I don’t think any of the classes I referenced should come from that package.

org.hippoecm.frontend.session.UserSession  
org.hippoecm.repository.api.HippoSession  
org.onehippo.repository.security.SessionUser
