How do you capture who is executing a view? By knowing who executed the view I can implement role based security to manage what they're able to see.

    There are a couple of options, and which to use depends on how your application connects to SQL Server.

    But to keep things simple: the one you want in the plain-vanilla case is SYSTEM_USER:

       SELECT SYSTEM_USER  
    

    This returns the current login. To confuse matter there is also SESSION_USER, suser_sname() and maybe some which I have forgotten. They are entirely equivalent.
