When I assign a ToDo to an external user I would like to hide parts of the template that are for intrenal use only. Can I get the user information of the current user in a drop somehow so I can make an if statement like:
```auto
{% if user.email contains "@mycompany.com" %}
Show content
{% endif %}
```
Is there any way to do this?

Hi @ronald_groot_RSF,
This is exactly the way to do it. Is this code not working for you?
Regards,
Kimberly

Okay, silly me… I couldn’t get it working and did not find any documentation, so I created the topic.
It works perfectly if I do not use the ‘@’ symbol. Using the ‘@’ somehow prevents me from getting the result I want. So this works:
```auto
{% if user.email contains "mycompany.com" %}
Show content
{% endif %}
```
Thanks @Kimberly_Vlietinck

Has there been a change that causes the user.email drop to stop working? All checks on this check have stopped working all of a sudden and fetching the field provides me with no data. Please help?!

Hi @ronald_groot_RSF,
The user.email drop still works, you can easily check this by printing {{ user.email }} in a document. Can you be more specific what check is not working, what did you expect to happen and what SF is showing instead?
Best regards,
Michiel

Hi @Michiel,
That’s what I checked. I’ve added this to my template:
```auto
Test is data is shown
{{ user.email }}
Test if data is shown
```
And this is what I see:
Test is data is shown
Test if data is shown

Hi @ronald_groot_RSF,
This was a small bug in our code, which has been solved in the meantime.
Best regards,
