# User Info Data Source

{% hint style="danger" %}
Webflow has announced the deprecation of **Webflow User Accounts**. This data source will continue working until it is fully deprecated. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
This functionality is available when you are using [SA5's User Info](https://attr.sygnal.com/sa5-user-accounts/get-logged-in-user-info) library.
{% endhint %}

If you are using **Webflow User Accounts** and [SA5's User Info library](#user-info), then SA5 constructs a User Info object whenever a user is currently logged in. 

The details of that object can be data-bound. 

* `$user.name`
* `$user.email`

[user-info-data-source](https://attr.sygnal.com/sa5-data/data-sources/user-info-data-source "mention")

## Custom User Fields 

[Custom user fields](https://attr.sygnal.com/sa5-user-accounts/get-logged-in-user-info/custom-user-fields) can also be accessed, under `$user.data.your-field-name`.

You can use this in element data-binding, with the 

```
{{ $user.data.your-field-name }}
```

{% hint style="success" %}
**Shortcut.** `@` can be used as a shortcut in place of `$user.`, for example `@name` is equivalent to `$user.name` 
{% endhint %}

## Examples

wfu-bind = $user.data.link-field

{{ $user.data.link-field }} 

If you are using **Webflow Memberships** and **SA5's User Info library**, then SA5 constructs a User Info object whenever a user is logged in.

The details of that object can be data-bound. e.g.;

* `$user.name` - Gets the current user's name
* `@email` - Gets the current user's email

They can be used with `wfu-bind`, or within template macros within `wfu-bind-content`, e.g.

```
Hello {{ $user.name }}! Welcome to our site.  
```

## Available DSD's

Prefix any of these with `$user.` They can be used with wfu-bind, or within templates  wfu-bind-content.
