hey @Marvin, during local development flow runs, how do I access the email address of the user connected to prefect cloud in python?

It appears that the current documentation doesn't provide a direct method to access the email address of the user connected to Prefect Cloud within a flow. The Prefect context and the email integrations mentioned do not specify how to retrieve the user's email. In a typical setup, flow runs executed locally would not have access to the email address of the user connected to Prefect Cloud unless it's explicitly provided as an environment variable or passed as a parameter to the flow. As a workaround, if you need to utilize the email of the user, I'd recommend having the user set it as an environment variable or passing it as a parameter to the flow. You would then use this information within your flow as needed. For secure management and use of such sensitive information, you could consider using Prefect Blocks, although this would not automatically grant access to the user's email either. If you specifically need to interact with Prefect Cloud, extracting information such as the connected user's email, you might need to use the GraphQL API provided by Prefect Cloud. This, however, would require additional permissions and potentially user interaction. Here are some links to the relevant documentation for further reading: - Prefect Blocks - Prefect Cloud API keys For email service integrations with Prefect, refer to the prefect-email documentation. Please note that accessing user email addresses may have privacy implications and should be handled in accordance with your organization's policies and regulatory requirements.
