A user enters the BID.
How can one display his User-ID?
In the banner?
Elsewhere?

Hey Danny, we do it on the public dashboard, we decode the user's login id (his kerberos/siteminder/whatever) using the mre repository to get his displayname,and then issue a 'good morning and welcome {your name}' on the default launch block. that block has links to all the views the user has... we don't force the user to go hunt for the 'views' tab thing...

I am not sure of the user ID, but if you want to display their MRE name field, you can do that with dashboard setting.
Go to view builder, select the view where you want to display the user name, and select settings from the view builder.
In the settings, there is an option for showbanner user greeting. select true and you are all set.
