Page modified user always Public Anonymous User - Xperience 13 API

Gihan Perera asked on August 16, 2022 15:10

Hi,

I'm using Kentico API to update page content and there are no issues at all. But the only issue is that the last modified user will be a public anonymous user (which we need to change to a specific API user).

Code :

TreeNode Page = new DocumentQuery("CLASS.XXX") .Path("path", PathTypeEnum.Children).NestingLevel(2).WhereEquals("CID", 1).FirstOrDefault();

Page.CheckOut();

Page.SetValue("Title", "Test title");

Page.Update();

Page.CheckIn();

This is value on general tab

Last modified by:Public Anonymous User

api user last modified

Your API code is being executed under the current user accessing the site at the time the code is modified. If you want to specifically target a user, then do something like this:

TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);

TreeNode parentPage = tree.SelectNodes()
    .Path("/your-path")
    .OnCurrentSite()
    .Culture("en-us")
    .TopN(1)
    .FirstOrDefault();
