Get the login username from access point

Dear all,

Please help me out in understanding how we can get the login username from accesspoint.

The OSUser will actually give the system login name and not the access point login name.

Regards,

Pooja.

Is QVuser() applicable only to applications wherein we have section access defined??

I was trying to get the login username from an application where i have not yet implemented section access but couldn't get any value out of it.

Hi,

Yes you are right. It is applicable to only section access implemented applications.

Information from Help File.

"Returns a string containing the name of the current QlikView user as entered in a section access. "

Thanks Kaushik for responding to my queries

And also is there any way to get the username in a case where I dont need section access.

Hi,

Instead the easy option is that you give section access and allow all users to see everything.
