Show information about a user in a canvas app

In Power Apps, show the full name, the email address, and the picture that's associated with the user who's signed in to a canvas app. You can use this information, for example, to automatically fill in a form.

For example, you can use this feature to:

• Create a sign-up "sheet" for users to attend training, volunteer for events, check in at a kiosk, and more.
• Display the full name on a Human Resources app.
• Automatically enter an email address when contacting your helpdesk.

Basically, you can use this anywhere users would benefit from a form or labels that are populated automatically
