Does anyone know if it’s possible to query the login of the user who starts an SFC from the designer interface from within the SFC using scripting?

I’m working on a batch interface and would like to record the user who started the batch. I’ve been trying to make my logic work independent of whether the batch is started from a Vision client or from the SFC designer by using memory tags. Getting username from a vision client script is simple, but from the designer not sure if it’s possible, curious if anyone else has tried doing something similar or has any tips.
