Tiritiri Matangi Island weed reports

Question

We have a bunch of volunteer weeders for an island conservation project and I am developing a system that enables them to record what they have found and where. I have been using eipcollect for a long time for my personal work on the project and I am extending it with the intention of getting other volunteers to use it too. It is a closed project so all users have to be logged in the access the project. One of the pieces of data I want to collect is the identity of the person who entered the data. I could just have a “operator” field that the user fills in but it would be much nicer to have the form automatically populate the field.

Is there a way to do this?

On private projects, the email used by the user to authenticate is automatically collected.
