How to change the "from" user used in the emulator?

[wbreza]

Right now it appears that the "from" user is statically set to "default-user". I'm unable to find a way to modify this in the UI.

Hi @wbreza The ability to change the user name is a planned feature that will be coming out early in the new year. It is part of a larger redesign of the way bot connections are managed in the app.

Hi,

Has there been any update on this?

This work is still planned, but taken a back seat to higher priority work.

So we can't change default user in Bot emulator v3 ?

[tonyanziano]

Currently, in V4 of the Emulator, we provide the ability to change the id of the user through the app settings page:

However, we have no way of changing the name of the user through the UI in V4 as well as in V3. We also have no plans of adding any new features to V3.

Can we pass this user-id runtime by using python code?
