How to find name of the currently logged in user in Splunk Web Framework App?

[mshapirovp]

In a web framework app, is it possible (via javascript) to get the name of the currently logged in user?

I would like to provide this in an ajax call when the user performs an action.

If you require splunkjs/mvc/sharedmodels then you can run this:

console.log(sharedModels.get("user").entry.get("name"));
console.log(sharedModels.get("user").entry.content.get("realname"));

Produces this output:

"admin"
"Administrator"
