Solved: Show viewer mail or identify viewer

Hi!

I am in the process of developing a new dashboard that contains sensitive information. However, I am concerned about the possibility of this dashboard being shared through photos or screenshots by other viewers. Is there a method to display the viewer's email address directly on the dashboard?

THKS!!

Once upon a time, there was a parameter available directly in Looker Studio called @ds_USER_EMAIL. It would display the email of the logged in user. It doesn't seem to be available directly anymore, but it is still available via custom query, if you have a BQ data source. https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/10588439?hl=en

There is also a function called SESSION_USER in BQ which you can bring in to your view (again, if you're using BQ...if not, I'm not sure!) https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/security_functions
