How to filter reports user logon info

I am new to reporting services
Is there an example of how to obtain user logon information to use as input
for queries before report renders. We will deploy reports to a portal and
want to use the user logon info as a filter for initial queries ( for example
to restrict information viewed by client ). Thanks.You can use the User!UserID global, which is the logged on username. Pass
it into a query parameter. Of course, you will need to have data in your
source database tables that includes the UserID values, to join and filter
your data.

Cleverpath portal before (CA's portal product) the reports were published to
the portal and the logon id was obtained from the portal signon. In the case
of RS, the reports are deployed to the report server - are there tables
associated with the report server? Is it getting the value from the browser
session?

Authentication, it's getting it from the OS. If you have custom security
and forms auth, then it's getting it from the forms auth cookie.
