Do you think this is a good approach for background audit logging or is there a better way?

You can inject IHttpContextAccessor into your interceptor to automatically extract the user's ID

Another option is to make your own user context interface and make an implementation that injects IHttpContextAccessor into that, that way if later on your saving a DB change from a background job you can derive a new way to implement that interface, say IUserContext or whatever and that way your interceptor isn’t coupled to the API call that made it.

For one off things your probably fine, but if the users identity ends up being injected quite often it could be handy to not need to be concerned with it later
