Current User parameter default

In report parameters, it would be nice to have a parameter default option be the current user. We have custom routing slips and it would allow us to have the user to see only the ones they created. We can do this now, but they have to F4 lookup or type their name every time they run the report.

    This is not only a nice to have this is a security flaw without it.


    If you have a SSRS report launch in the browser with a Company parameter and you don't pass the Current User name to the stored procedure, how do you know if they have access to that company's data to return it?

    Perhaps "Current Employee" could also be considered? (Employee linked via current user in VA User Profiles)
