Hi

Is there a way get the current connected user in a SAS EG Custom Addin?

For example - If user 'xyz' launches an SAS EG session and starts a custom addin task, so is there a way to determine the name of the user who launced the SAS EG session.

I know, I could run a piece of SAS code to get the username by reading results of underlying OS system command, but was wondering whether SAS EG Addin libraries provided some way.

Thanks

Vinay
