Im trying to get the username in my module. Ive used session props before so i can call them with.  
this.props.store.view.page.sessionProps?.read(‘locale’) works.  
But auth does not seem to be in here… Any place else i can find the username of the logged in user?

Are you testing with a real client? Perspective auth doesn’t work in the designer.
