$UserName

$UserName gives the login name of the user who invoked the Mathematica kernel, as recorded by the operating system.

On Unix and similar operating systems, $UserName is derived from the UID associated with the Mathematica kernel process.

On operating systems where no login name can be found, $UserName is None.

See Section 2.14.5.
