USERNAME -- your login username

Foswiki makes names available in three formats: USERNAME like jsmith, WIKINAME like JohnSmith and WIKIUSERNAME like Main.JohnSmith. Un-authenticated users are all WikiGuest.

This macro is an alias for the USERINFO macro with a fixed format="$username".

The login username is considered "protected" information by default and will not be revealed to non-admin users.

Parameters

Examples

• %USERNAME% expands to guest
• %USERNAME{AdminUser}% expands to ==
  

  When used in a template topic, this macro will be expanded when the template is used to create a new topic. See TemplateTopics#TemplateTopicsVars for details
