It would be nice to have access to the user who promoted a build via an environment variable, similar to DRONE_COMMIT_AUTHOR for who made the commit. Perhaps DRONE_PROMOTE_USER or DRONE_DEPLOY_USER (to go with DRONE_DEPLOY_TO)? something like that? It would probably just be empty for non-promote events. We’re looking for a way to attribute changes made by the CI system to the user who actually triggered the deployment.
Thanks,

I believe you can use DRONE_BUILD_TRIGGER which is set to the user that promoted or rolled back the build.
That would work too, but that’s not listed in the docs or at https://github.com/harness/drone/blob/master/operator/runner/env.go so I don’t think it’s available.
the file you mentioned is deprecated. this is the relevant code that injects environment variables:
https://github.com/drone/runner-go/blob/master/environ/environ.go
but agreed that it should be included in docs
