Getting the current author from the Repository

[Heidi Thomson]

Hi,

I'm scripting a way of automating our baselines and in the comments, I'd like to include the person who is running the script via EA.  I was planning on using the Repository.GetCurrentLoginUser but we don't have security enabled on our model.  I also tried to access the authors from the Repository.Authors but the count was zero.

Are there any other methods for getting this information?

Thanks,
Heidi

Heidi,

If you're not using security, then EA has no way of knowing which author is using the tool.
I suppose the only option you have is to ask Windows which user is currently logged in.

Thanks Geert,

I'll have a look at the benefits of adding security to the model.

Thanks,
Heidi
