Spring Security: Get Logged-in User's Details

In this video, I will share with you how to retrieve the UserDetails object that represents the currently logged-in user in a Spring Boot application with Spring Security and Thymeleaf, to display the user's details in the view such as username, full name, assigned roles (authorities), any properties of the class that implements the UserDetails interface defined by Spring Security.

You will also learn how a simple way to get the UserDetails object in Spring controller's handler methods, for further processing based on the user's details retrieved.

Hello, you have one of the best tutorials on spring boot on youtube . Most of the time when following your tutorials i come across some interesting stuff like MANAGE USER page which I am asking if you can make a tutorial on that. I want to do something like that but i dont know how. Thank you

I am having a problem getting user details, I did everything you explained but my problem is that when the user makes changes to their profile, like changing their username, changes don't reflect immediately unless the user is re-authenticated(logout) and also because I am using <span when i refresh the page that calls this authentication method it gives me a white error. My guess is because of the authentication. is there a way I can dynamically update the changes made in the database to reflect on the thymleaf template without having to logout and login. Thanks in anticipation

Hello, sir. I wrote the getter for lastName in my CustomUserDetail class which implements UserDetails, but when I try to call sec:authentication="principal.lastName", it does not find my custom method. It only find the ones which are overriden. This is my getMethod public String getLastName() {
return this.user.getLastName();
}
