    Hi,

    Not by default, but it would be very simple to make a custom dashboard control that did this.

    Basically you would just make a normal usercontrol, and add it to /config/Dashboard.config to make it show up.

    In your usercontrol you can use something like this to get the user's name:  umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent().Name;

    Hey,

    Yes, you need to create a usercontol and use this code. You need to add a reference to businesslogic (which you can grab from the websites bin directory)

    Hello <%=umbraco.BusinessLogic.User.GetCurrent().Name%>

    You might also be able to do this in Razor?

    You'll then need to add this user control / tab to your /config/Dashboard.config file.
