Add the doc on how to set Auth User Method
@@ -68,5 +68,34 @@ REQUEST_HEADERS_METHOD = get_access_headers
This function will be called using the current `app` instance to add the headers in each request when calling any endpoint of
metadatalibrary and searchlibrary [here](https://github.com/lyft/amundsenfrontendlibrary/blob/master/amundsen_application/api/utils/request_utils.py)

+## Setting Up Auth User Method
+In order to get the current authenticated user (which is being used in Amundsen for many operations), we need to set
+`AUTH_USER_METHOD` config variable in frontendlibrary.
+This function should return email address, user id and any other required information.
+
+- Define a function to fetch the user information in your config.py:
+```python
+def get_auth_user(app):
+ """
+ Retrieves the user information from oidc token, and then makes
+ a dictionary 'UserInfo' from the token information dictionary.
+ We need to convert it to a class in order to use the information
+ in the rest of the Amundsen application.
+ :param app: The instance of the current app.
+ :return: A class UserInfo
+ """
+ from flask import g
+ user_info = type('UserInfo', (object,), g.oidc_id_token)
+ # noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
+ user_info.user_id = user_info.preferred_username
+ return user_info
+```
+
+- Set the method as the auth user method in your config.py:
+```python
+AUTH_USER_METHOD = get_auth_user
+```
+
Once done, you'll have the end-to-end authentication in Amundsen without any proxy or code changes.
