Hi,
The user is listed as UNKNOWN when the annotation is done manually from “Data explorer”. This is problematic as we need to be able to track who made the changes.
Here is an annotation I added manually:

And this is what I see from the API. I am able to identify the creating_app which is data explorer, but I need to know the user as well or at least some way to track which credentials made the change. UNKNOWN is not good enough.

I’ve also notices that for our automated annotations this field does not work as expected. These are all made by the same user/credentials, but for some reason the are all different and it looks like the “creating_user” field is mapped to the “job_id” you get when sending a request to the API rather than the user that made the request. I don’t know about others, but we at least need to be able to track which users/credentials created the annotations, which batch job uploaded the annotation is not relevant to us at all.
