Maybe you should check out this project, it is a User Management tool for Perspective projects:

> **[Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2128/overview)**
>
> Discover, share, and download community made Ignition resources in collaboration with your organization or the Ignition community.

Also, maybe this other forum post could help you:

> You can use system.user.editUser, just use system.security.getUsername to get the currently logged in user. The docs have an example that should tell you everything you need to know about the scripting aspect. [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.user.editUser](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.user.editUser)[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.security.getUsername](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.security.getUsername) Edit: There’s also a session property that has the username: auth.user.userName

Here are the links to the Ignition user manual that discuss how to obtain a user's username and how to edit a user's information within Perspective:
