Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable
I know you can have a user fill in a text box with their name and then later use that variable for personalization. What we would like to do is programmatically retrieve the user name from the LMS....

Hey, Brett -
Unless someone's storing a value in the data model to bend in that type of info, this usually isn't exposed.

I agree with you, though. There are many pieces of information that I think could be carried forward from the LMS to customize / adapt to the needs of the user. I think things like accessibility preferences would be VERY useful.
