Is it possible to get UPN of current user?

[kenny_i]

I'm building solution with PowerApps and Power BI. I try to build unified user access authorization defined in Azure SQL.

1) Power BI is using username() to get user by UPN format.

2) PoweApps is getting User().Email to get user by email format. 

Is it possible to have both solution using either email or UPN format for fetching current user?

In PowerApps the User().Email actually returns the UPN and not the email address. In my company our UPN and email address are different, so I have had to work around this issue by getting the email address through the Office365Users connector. If you are worried about the User().Email being fixed to actually show the email address then you can use the Office365Users connector to get the email address or UPN for the current user.

Examples:

Office365Users.MyProfileV2().mail

Office365Users.MyProfileV2().userPrincipalName

PowerApps User().Email do return email address to me. Also specs says that it should return email. address. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-user

PowerBI returns login.

I'm happy either way but trying to find way to authorize with PowerBI or PowerApss with same user identification.
