This makes sense to me. The connection to the database is from RS server,
NOT from the user. It seems to me that whatever you are trying to do cannot
be done via querying the database. The client requesting the report is not
where the database connection is originating, that is from the Server.
If you want the user you can use the global variable User!UserID.
