Is there an &var, more likely an &&var, that contains the USERID of the user submitting the *.fex for execution? I would expect that in MRE it would show the LogonID; in RCaster, the User given as a Task pproperty; in DevSudio, the OS's user or a fixed value.

For Dev Studio or RC,

I think it really depends on what your IIS security settings are on the webserver(s) where the WF Client is installed and what type of app (MRE, self-serve, etc.) you are running.

For us, if we do a GETUSER, we would get the generic user id on the Reporting Server. We use IWA and pass the user id by adding the following to our site.wfs file.
<ifndef> RUSER
RUSER=&WF_REMOTE_USER
<ENDIF>
<SET> RUSER (PASS)


This creates a &RUSER variable that's available on the Reporting Server.

thanks, Oklahoma City , for that reminder. i needed to know exactly that and couldn't remember.i'm going to go edit my site.wfs right now.
Do you, by any chance, know how to grab the network DOMAIN to which a user belongs?
i want to be able to handle security by network domain membership, rather than specific user?


Chris...all you need to do is delete your post...an option from the edit .

"Do you, by any chance, know how to grab the network DOMAIN to which a user belongs?"

Yes, do the same thing but use &REMOTE_USER instead of &WF_REMOTE_USER.

In our environment, that gives OKDHS/userid where OKDHS is the domain.
