EA.Element.Author attribute

[vladimir.liba]

EA.Element.Author attribute has full name of author as string. Is it possible to get his login name? I found, that in UI you can change this full name to anything else, so it looks like there is no reference to actual user, who created that element.
Or maybe its not in API, but it is somewhere in sql backend? Is there documentation about sql model? We use postgresql as project backend engine.

No. The author is a string which is stored in the element properties in the moment it is created. At that moment it is drawn from the user name which in turn might be connected to the login (depends whether you have enabled security and imported the user from Windoze).

You could write an add-in the modifies the user name or the author name which gets stored in the element.
