# Get User Name

The **Over Get User Name** node retrieves the name of the user who has initiated the current session in the **OVER App** . This node is particularly useful for personalizing user experiences, logging user-specific data, or integrating user information into external systems via APIs.

**Outputs**

* **User Name (String)** : The name of the user currently logged into the **OVER App** . If no user is logged in or the session information is unavailable, this output may return an empty string or a default value.

**How It Works**

When executed, this node queries the **OVER App** session to retrieve the name of the active user. The result can then be used directly in your logic flow or passed to other nodes, such as the **WebRequest** ( [Web Request](/over-sdk-manual/sdk-coding-nodes/over-nodes/web-request.md) ) node, to include user-specific information in API requests or other operations.
