User
This tag contains the name of the current user:
We recommend that you use the expression security function CurrentUserName( ) instead
of the system\User tag, especially if you intend to convert the application to FactoryTalk
View Supervisory Edition. In distributed applications, system\User returns the name of
the user logged into the HMI server, not the user logged into the display client.
For more information about the security functions, see page 23-13.
Tag Name Type Function
system\User String Contains name of logged-in user.
