OpenSocial has two fundamental user roles: OWNER and VIEWER. OWNER represents the user who installed the application while VIEWER represents the user who is currently using or viewing the application. In orkut, the object representing the application's "owner" is always accessible; the "viewer" is only accessible if the current user also has the application installed.
So, in a nutshell, you need to request the application's owner. You can do this regardless of whether the owner is signed in. Once you have the OWNER object, you can get that user's ID and send a makeRequest to your server to fetch the appropriate data. - Jason On Sep 22, 12:01 am, agentcris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I have to achieve a functionality in my app. That is, I would like to > fetch a remote data from my server and display it on the profile page > of the owner of the profile.
