Is it possible to capture the username of the current logged in user using the Geospatial Portal SDK and then store the username as a variable which can be used to populate a attribute when inserting a feature through a WFS?

The Geospatial Portal instance has Windows Authentication enabled so every user accessing the portal is authenticated and their username is shown under the Authentication tab.

I know this may be possible through integration with Workflow Manager but that is an expensive product to implement just for this simple requirement.

I appreciate any replies.

Thanks,

Colin

Hi Colin

I don't have experiences with Windows Authentication but I wonder - is there any response for the following call?

$GP.user.getCurrent().name

Thanks Jan I will take a look at that call.
