Access to User Information

[Former Member]

I'm fairly certain the answer is no, but is there a way to access which user is viewing a Design Studio application? What I'm attempting to accomplish is to display different default data based on who is viewing the application. For example, if different regional managers were looking at a dashboard, the components would default to displaying the data specific to their region.

Hi Robin,

If I consider your use case for this requirement, you can always manage this with BW authorizations (if you are using BEx queries as your data source)

Hi Robin,

you can access the current user (viewing the dashboard) with a script like this:

DS_1.getInfo().user

Agree with Anil though, if this can be done on the backend side, then better there.

Best regards,

Victor
