The user Id is cached in a session variable which is also used as the 'auth' ticket. So yes you can grab that. Furthermore on any secured pages you can get at this property through the mmBusinessWebPage object reference...

IOW, autentication occurs only once - after that the ticket is used to check authentication.

>Well, I think there was a misunderstanding in my group of how to use mmUserManager in a Web application. In our DataAccess classes we have rules that create history in the Database when data has changed. Those rule require a way to get the id of the user currently logged into that session, so that the id can be included in the history records saved in the database. But it doesn't appear that the user's id is cached or stored in the session automatically by any of the Mere Mortals architecture.
