Getting logged in username and password

ombacke

Is there a way to get the user name and password of the currently logged in user in Navision code?

For the user name use the keyword USERID, and password..... no. It's possible to reset someone's password with sufficient permissions, but you cannot get to the passwords programatically.

Try this. Create a new form (you don't even have to save it for this example) and put a button on it. In the button's OnPush trigger, write MESSAGE(USERID);. Run the form and click the button. You can also get to the user name. Create a new global record type variable Called MyUser, and write the following code:

MyUser.GET(USERID);
MESSAGE(MyUser.Name);
MESSAGE(MyUser.Password);

When you click the button now, you will see the user's name as entered in the Database Login window, and you will notice that the password shows up in the second message as blank.

Well thank you... I guess for the password, I'll need to use another way.

DenSter

There is no other way. You cannot get to the password. Unless of course, you are a first class hacker, and we'd all be interested in how you did that

Maybe Luc can shed some light.

That doesn't work in 4.00 anymore though right?

Why should it not work in 4.00? I tested it on MBS-Navision W1 4.0, and it still works.

Well I guess I must stand corrected then
