title: In Microsoft Access 2013, how do I access the username of the current ODBC connection?
body: <p>I am building a system in Microsoft Access 2013 that is using MySQL as the backend. I would like to have a form where the username of the user currently logged in to the MySQL database is the default value for an input field. I tried using the CurrentUser() function to do this, but that seems to always return "Admin". </p>
  
  <p>So I guess there are really two questions here:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is there a way to access the username of the user logged in to the MySQL server from within Access 2013?</p></li>
  <li><p>If not, how do I control what the username is for CurrentUser()? It's very important in this system that I am able to differentiate between different users of the system and that not everyone simply shows up as "Admin".</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>It's possible there is a much better way to accomplish what I'm asking and I don't even know the right question to ask, and if that's the case please do let me know.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
