How to place username in Template without using a Query in C10

I have seen the suggestions for using a Macro like #sq($account.personalInfo.givenName)# or something similar to place the user's name in the footer of a report, but I'd like to be able to put this field in a template for multiple report developers to use.

When I create at report based on the template, the query seems to get removed. Results for a similar question regarding C8 here on the boards also suggest using the macro in a query, but that doesn't solve the problem I have.

I want to place a user name in a template in C10. Any suggestions?

I realize now of course that this should be done with a Layout calculations. At least that's what the tooltip leads me to believe! :) We'll see if it works.
