Hi,
Maybe I'm missing something but I cannot find the XQuery way to get access to the logged in user from a web application using RESTXQ.
The servlet request object has getRemoteUser and Exist, for example, has xmldb:get-current-user and Marklogic has xdmp:get-current-user.
I don't need to know intricate user details just need the handle on the logged in / authenticated user (possibly from the servlet request object?)

We could add a function user:current() to the new User Module [1]. More suggestions on other, possibly missing, functions are welcome.

Hi Christian,
Not sure what else. I'm only starting to delve into this area and I'm not sure what else would be helpful. In general I'm looking at creating a small REST atompub service that handles authentication and this was one of the missing pieces I encountered.
Cheers,

Hi Marc,
the function is now available in the 8.1 snapshot [1].
