How to get the user or his rights?

[Ken Ray]

>> You can get the name of the user that is logged in by checking the environment variables $USERNAME (on Windows) and $USER (on Mac). As to the user's permission level, this is what I use (watch line wraps):
>> function stsIsAdminUser pName, pComputer
> 
> what is "pComputer", resp. how do I get this value?

Whoops! Sorry, you can pass the environment variable $COMPUTERNAME under Windows (it's not needed for Mac) … I call the function like this on Windows:

   put stsIsAdminUser($USERNAME,$COMPUTERNAME) into tResult
