Get Current User via User Macro

[Phillip Ponzer [Cprime]]

Is there a way (similar to $body) for me to display the currently logged in user? Or at least somehow obtain the user's full name?

To get the full name, you can use: $action.remoteUser.fullName

I'm not sure what you mean by "display the currently logged in user" but if you can elaborate, we might be able to help out there too.
