The ActiveUserCloudField`1 Component binds to the field specified by Target. If IsLinkedToCloud is true, it will write the value of the cloud variable defined by Path for the active user of the slot it is attached to.
Fields
| Name | Type | Description |

persistent
|
Bool | Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server. |
UpdateOrder

Path
|
String | The path of the variable this component will read, for the current active user |
IsLinkedToCloud

Usage
For this component to function, the cloud variable permissions must be set to something suitably permissive for it to function properly.
- If the variable should update on the cloud when a user interacts with the object in some way, Write Permissions should be set to one of the following:
- variable_owner_unsafe
- variable_owner_only_contacts_unsafe 1
- Anyone 2
- If the variable should update on the cloud when a user interacts with the object in some way, Read Permissions should be set to one of the following:
- variable_owner_unsafe
- variable_owner_only_contacts_unsafe 3
- Anyone 4
1. This permission results in only contacts of the variable owner being able to change a value. It also allows contacts to change each others values, which may not be desired.
2. This permission is only valid for group variable definitions, and allows anyone to write the value of anyone else, which might have unintended consequences.
3. This permission results in only contacts of the variable owner being able to read a value, however the value is read by the active user and synced normally to everyone else in a session, making this detail irrelevant.
4. This permission is only valid for group variable definitions, and allows anyone to read the value of anyone else, however the value is read by the active user and synced normally to everyone else in a session, making this detail irrelevant.
Examples
Having an item where it changes to the user's color set on the cloud.
