SQL2000 I am using Windows Authentication. I have set up Windows groups that users belong to. These groups are set up in SQL as logins (this means that new users just need to be added to the windows group to be given access to all the databases with permissions for the group). Within my ADP I need to find out what login the user has accessed the SQL database from so that I can show/hide controls etc. However, when I use the CURRENT_USER variable in a Sproc it returns the user, not the group they have come in by. EG - egas\David is a member of egas\BillingUsers Group. egas\BillingUsers is set up as a login in SQL (egas\David is not). When egas\David is using a database he has accessed it because he is a member of egas\BillingUsers. Is there a way to find out the login that was used for egas\David to get in (CURRENT_USER returns egas\David, I want egas\BillingUsers)?
