Can I retrieve the user name in BIRT?

Can I retrieve the user name in BIRT, so that I can restrict access and/or customize reports for individual users?

Hi sbenko,

You can pass the user name in as a parameter.

Thank you Michael.

Is there a way to get this value from the system, without having the user enter it as a parm? This is an extra step for the user, also they may mistype it, or they may enter someone else's ID.

sbenko,

Are you using the deployed viewer? Calling reports from your own application?

Michael,

I am calling reports from a vendor application.

sbenko,

You can create a hidden parameter and then pass the user id from the vendor application into your BIRT report through that parameter.

Thank you Michael, I will try that...

hi Guys,

Is there any way to get the UserName in report without report level parameters.
