Hi,

I do know we can set and get attributes in the javascript side with the  
Erizo.Stream constructor, but what I really want is getting Nuve user name  
and role from javascript. Is there any way to do it? I can query Nuve user  
and role from the app server and then pass it to the javascript, but I  
don’t think this is a good method.

Thanks.

Hi,

really that is the method. The users and roles management is made by nuve  
and server side of your application. If you want to identify a Stream in  
client side you have to do it using the attribute param in the Stream.
