Syntax

=U.AUTHN([token], [environment])

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
[token] No If provided and a valid token an attempt will be made to authenticate with this token if the add-in is not already authenticated. Valid token can be acquired on UWeb. A previously saved token can be deleted by passing "delete" in this parameter.
[environment] No An optional parameter that can be used to authenticate or get the authentication status to a non-default environment

Behavior

The documented public interface is supported by the current U Add-in source signature and the maintained Usage Examples workbook. Optional parameters are shown in square brackets in the syntax above; omit the brackets when entering a formula.

Return Value

Returns the function result or action status described by the formula and parameters above. The maintained sources do not define a narrower, stable return contract for this function.

Examples

=U.AUTHN()

Notes

  • Formula examples are preserved from maintained workbook usage and normalized to the current U. prefix.
  • Complete formulas demonstrate working patterns; they do not imply that undocumented option values are supported.
  • Where maintained sources do not specify every accepted value, default, or error message, this page does not infer one.
  • For functions that perform actions, use a visible trigger or supported block/throttle parameter to avoid unintended repetition during recalculation.
