Topic: Current CE User Name - Session data Posted: 28 Jun 2011 at 6:36am
Our current crystal reports are run via a web application called Clarity. I am looking for a way to grab session based values and use them to filter the data in my reports.
How do I go about using the Current CE User Name or Current CE User ID special fields or to display the current user's info, the user that ran the report not the internal user we use to connect to the database.
Is it possible to display and user the current user's name?

not that I am aware of. If you place the user in data table or in something that CR can read, it is possible...
CR, to the best of my knowledge (which is limited in this area), doesn't have the ability to access anything outside of CR. You could programatically set a parameter or a value somewhere to let CR know what the value is, but it doesn't know how to go out and query a variable somewhere.

I don't know anything about BI.
No CR doesn't know who the user is and so cannot set security.
We get around this by having a wizard from our app gather the parameters...the app can be used to select data both for parameters and to set who the user is.
