Getting unity developer's username/ID via code?

Unity Engine
1

Hi all, so I am creating a number of editor tools for unity and I’ve had a few ideas that would be useful for teams to use via collab. The sticking point for a lot of these ideas is not being able to tell who is using the tool. Any kind of username/unique ID to the unity account is what I’m looking for to avoid creating a further log-in for the service. I have currently resigned to using the unique system ID in the systeminfo class which isn’t ideal for reasons such as it is bound to the machine.

So essentially what I’m asking is if there are any ways to expose the unity developers username or some kind of ID that would be unique to a unity account?

Thanks in advance.

I hope there’s not. That could be a nightmare as asset developers could easily abuse it and use it to collect information.

Yeah I see what you mean, maybe in terms of username but surely a unique public facing ID would be safe to share without risk of malicious use

I don’t see how there is not some way to do this. All I want to do is confirm that the users using my plugin actually purchased it…

Better question…why isn’t that just built in…

Because it’s a bad idea for privacy.

Can you give me an example how?
