SPContext returns wrong user account [closed]

Question

I'm creating a web part on a non local server and I need to get the current user logged in to SharePoint. I'm using the following code to get the username.

string currentUser = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;

However, it doesn't return the username of the person logged into SharePoint, instead it returns my username even if someone else is logged in. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I've also tried using the HttpContext and that doesn't work either.

Edit: The answer is kind of embarrassing. I had been storing all the users credentials in a static class, which is why it was always returning the wrong one- it was being set once and never changed. Thank you all for your help.

Are you testing the webpart with different user logged in with one browser instance with multiple tabs? Try closing all browser windows, restart the browser and log in with another users' login.

Answer 3

Check in your code if you are using the following delegate:

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
  //Code
});

This would be a reason as to why it's happening...

This line of code would return the app pool account.

Check with this line to see if the correct user is being returned:

string user = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
