Get User Name in Qlik Sense - SSO connection

Hello

 

I'm trying to retrieve in my app the user name of the current user.

The OSUser() function only returns the userdirectory and the userid.

Is there a way to retrieve the user name as shown in the QMC (or when logged on the hub - at the top left)

 

thanks for your help

ps: we're working with Qlk enterprise Sept. 2019 Patch 1

May be

Subfield(OSUSER(), '\', -1)

Thanks for the answer.
I had already tried your solution but it returns  the AD userid, not the user name.
The Active Directory information logged into the qmc is username, domain, userid

 

thanks

Hi

Do you find any solution for this. Even I am trying to retrieve UserName in Mashup. 

I am able to get UserID with OSUser() function but my requirement to show in MAshup webpage is Username.

If you have already got a solution pls share to us.

Try this

SubField(OSUser(), '=', -1)

If not, How it is returning when you use simply OSUSER()
