Accessing customized user profile fields within a Connect Room

If I created a custom profile field called "User Code" and wanted to associate it with a Connect property called "userCode," how would I go about calling that property from within a custom pod in a Connect room?

For example, if I wanted to call a participant's user name or user ID, I would use these:
  mySyncConnector.userName
  mySyncConnector.userID

Is it possible to use the profile fields in this way? And if so, how can I associate that field with a custom property?

(I am working in a non-hosted Connect 7.5 environment.)

Hey Olden,

There's no way to get it via SDK, but you might be able to get it via the API. 

- In this case, your SWF might need to have the appropriate permissions baked in so it can log in to use the API
- Use the syncConnector.userName to search the API for the specific user
- Parse the results to get the custom field
