    Is there a way to capture the user name and display it on the report? And does anyone know how to capture rules info for a user. So I need a report that lists the current user and the rules that exist for that user.

    Example:

    Current User - ABC

    Rule - Company
    Values - 1,2,3,4

      You can use security administrator to create security report for a user. There is not a lawson utility that can track "logged in user" by name/ID.

        You can create a parameter in the report and within LBI set it to hidden = true and prompt = false and in the value put @CurrentUser and it will pass the user ID to that parameter which you can then display within the report. I do the same thing except I use it in record selection to enforce row level security by company and accounting unit
