User Profile

[sjfp]

Is there a way to determine which user has logged on to the LM.
Would like to change the value of an Object to identify which user is logged in, so that various controls can be set to Read-Only depending on which user has logged on.
I have a script that enable and disable objects, so just need the bit to find the user ?
Thanks for help

Hi,

Run this script to create the user.lp inside the user ftp folder:

Code:

-- use this path for request: http://192.168.0.10/user/user.lp
-- make sure to enable password for the user folder in the user access settings otherwise it shows 'anonymous'

dst = '/www/user/user.lp'
io.writefile(dst, [[
<?
   require('apps')
   clientuser = request.username or 'anonymous'
   print(clientuser)
?>
]])
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

Then use this in your custom JS to fetched the logged in user:

Code:

$(function(){
   $.get("/user/user.lp", function(data, status){
      if (status === "success"){
         var currentuser = data.trim()
         if(currentuser === 'admin'){
          // do action for admin
         }else if(currentuser === 'erwin'){
            // do action for erwin
        }
       }
   });
})

BR,

Thank You very much, will give it a try

In the new FW we can check current user by Globals.user
No need for lp in this case. It will work only in RC2 or the new 2.5.0 for SE

Code:

$(function() {   
      var currentuser = Globals.user
      if(currentuser === 'admin'){
       // do action for admin
      }else if(currentuser === 'erwin'){
       // do action for erwin
      }
});

Yep, noticed it in the beta, cool (:

Cool, how can I display the logged in user name on the main Vis page

[Daniel]

write it to the object

[admin]

Create a label element, set additional classes to username
Add to Custom JS:

Code:

$(function(){
  $('.username').text(Globals.user);
});

So easy when you know how.
Thanks again for your continued support

How can I log the actual user in the "objects log" ?
I want recording the user that had pressed the button.

In latest fw it is done out of the box
