Hi Everybody,

Is there any way to return the windows connected user?

The OSUser() function return the NTNAME of Selection Access.

Thanks!

for example if your output like this with OSUser()

DOMAIN/ARUL.SETTU

try this

SubField('DOMAIN/arul.settu','/',2)

you will get only arul.settu

I will give you an exemple:

If I connect in Windows with my user "fernando.martini" an then open the browser and connect in Qlikview with the user "arul.settu", the OSUser() function will return "arul.settu".

I need THE OPERATIONAL SYSTEM USER, in this case "fernando.martini".

OSUser() return the user connected in Qlikview, not the Windows user.
