Overview

There are two versions of the User Display web part in use at this point in time.

Version 1 is a free web part, available to all individuals who register on the CorasWorks Central web site. It was first made available in 2003 via MSD2D and Microsoft. This version of the web part displays either the user name or the display name of the currently logged in user, depending on how the web part’s display properties are configured. Available formats include:

•      Currently Logged In As <%Display Name%>

•      Currently Logged In As <%Display Name%>(<%domain\UserName%>)

•      <%Display Name%>

•      <%Display Name%>(<%domain\UserName%>)

If the user is anonymous, the return will be either "Currently Logged In As Anonymous" or "Anonymous."

For more information on these options, please see Web Part View Properties (Version 1 Only).

Version 2 of the User Display web part is available free to CorasWorks Premier Account Support and Maintenance (PASM) customers only. It was released in February 2006, and it allows users to manage their accounts inside SharePoint. The following functions are available to the user:

•      Sign In – Sign Out

•      Edit My Information (Name, Email Address, Notes)

•      Change My Password

•      Manage My Alerts

•      Display who I am logged in as

•      Link to my Homepage

Each of these functions can be turned on and off so that you can be flexible as to what the users can or cannot do. This web part will work on environments where AD exists or where Windows maintains user accounts and will function on a member server.
