Snippet : How to query the salescloud users username in groovy and in EL

Ive decided to create a new category called "Snippets" to capture small chunks of information which might be useful to other people

In Groovy

// Get the security context

def secCtx = adf.context.getSecurityContext()

// Check if user has a given role

if (secCtx.isUserInRole('MyAppRole')) {

  // get the current user's name

  def user = secCtx.getUserName()

  // Do something if user belongs to MyAppRole

}

In a EL Expression

#{securityContext.userName}
