Getting current logged in user

jaapflonk — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 09:09:51 GMT

I made a few custom tools in Vault that i want to hide for people who are not admin or lead engineer.

The problem is that VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn() requires a password and a name. Right now i hardcoded the admin credentials to call this function and it will return a Connection object with the admin credentials inside (ofcourse).

What i want is to call VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn() with the credentials of the user that is logged in:

Or another solution would be to still login as admin in my code, but somehow get the current logged in user in Vault:

Some help or example code would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

A standalone application requires a dedicated login, like Inventor and Vault Explorer login explicitly. So, Vault extensions can re-use the VE connection, or other Inventor Add-Ins can re-use the Inventor-Vault connection.
