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....
We're trying to create a seamless flow from a platform that will authenticate a user with two identifying numbers ("#######" and "#######") that will manually be entered by the user. Our IS team says that they can create an API call with these numbers...and I assume this API call would be sent to our LMS that will host the course. Once the course is launched from our LMS, we would like those identifying numbers to appear at the top of each slide. We are trying to avoid requiring them to enter that information again within the course in order to accomplish those numbers appearing at the top of each slide for the course.
