How to include userId in req body?

[uenlkr4e]

Hi,
is it possible to get the userId in req body in controllers for "user is the owner of ..." checks?
or is there a way to pull it from the access token on controller side?

i want to make sure the user can only delete his log by making a "user is the owner of this log" check using the userId in token and comparing it with the userId in log entity.

any ideas?
thanks in advance

Hi, You have req.user in middleware when u check jwt, like in your controller or service you can check it by req.user to get who sent request.
