There is no user ID's available to us in the lambda context object, at least not without implementing API gateway +Authorization first so we can't log this information using the python logger. However this can be implemented by using AWS CloudTrail. Create a new 'Data Events' trail using CDK that listens to our lambda endpoints and then update geostore configuration in elastic shipper if needed. Log shipper should automatically pick up these CloudTrail logs with user identifications.

Hi @MitchellPaff . Sorry forgot to talk about this one this morning. Fine to finish this off if it's only a little bit of work. Let me know when you've got something ready to review.
