You should be finding the currently logged in user. You can do that in your controller then pass this information to your Service and Repository layers respectively. Please check this for a good SO Q&A. Here is the quick solution:

Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
String userName = auth.getPrincipal();

  • You dont need to get it from the UI, as my answer states you should be getting the current user from the Spring Security Context. – Ahmet Feb 15 '19 at 13:29
