Power BI authorization

‎05-30-2022 04:59 AM

Hi All.

I need to make a little authorization process in Power BI.

 

When I am using USERNAME() it is giving me my e-mail. But instead of this I need to have an "Alias". 

 

When I am clicking on up right corner of the screen on powerbi.com, I have "View Account". Then I go into "Personal info" and I've got there "Contact details". Below are "Email" and "Alias". Is there a chance to have this Alias instead of Email?

@jdmbkj  There are as of now two functions (USERNAME and USERNAMEPRINCIPAL) to track the login person info.

 

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please take a quick glance at newly created dashboards : Restaurant Management Dashboard , HR Analytics Report , Hotel Management Report, Sales Analysis Report , Fortune 500 Companies Analysis , Revenue Tracking Dashboard

Thanks, but both functions returns me my email. That is the same result using USERNAME and USERNAMEPRINCIPAL. Is there a chance to do something with that?
