EMAIL_AS_LOGIN_ID

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Could you point me to the database field name for EMAIL_AS_LOGIN_ID in a contact object?

I tried FCI_MAS_CONTACT, but the schema view did not have the field.

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Subhasini,

Class Summary for contact shows EMAIL_AS_LOGIN_ID as not a Persistent field. so you will not find this field in any database table.

Thanks

Hi Sai,

So is there a way we can work with this field?

Hi Sai,

Also, would you know how the logic goes when a person tries to login with email ID rather than user ID?

Email ID not being a unique field, and logging in with email ID not being a persistant field, I am unsure how the login is handled.

Inputs appreciated.

Hi Subhasini,

This field is a transient field, so there is no database column associated with this. The way it works is that when creating a new user, if the “Use E-Mail address for login” is checked then the system will use the email id entered under the Account Properties tab on the as the login id for that user. If another user is created with the same email id, I believe you would get an error message. Note, this option is not supported if you are using NW UME. Hope this helps.
