Any idea on adding water mark ?

Is there a good way to add watermark (login username) on each reports? My Cognos reports (as well as Dashboard) are integrated into 3rd part portal by <iframe>, my target is to make a personalized watermark (username) on each Viewer.

I have done some research, it seems like CA can add a static image (like comp's logo) as watermark, but it can not help me because username should be changed accounting to logins.

Any idea please, thanks so much

Add the macro #sq($account.defaultName)#  to a query calculation item to show the user executing the report. Can be used in a singleton.

I saw this request on StackOverflow a while back.  The reason was to identify data leaks from employees running reports and sharing them with competitors, news media, etc.  This won't work.  Anyone with the wherewithal to leak sensitive data has the skills and resources to remove or modify the "watermark" before leaking the document.

If your goal is to remind the user how to spell their name, that should work fine.
