AuthenticatedEmployeeID
This function returns the numeric identifier of the authenticated Marketing Cloud account user who is accessing the page. This is useful when creating customized pages for child Business Units (a feature available in earlier Enterprise 2.0 accounts).
Arguments
AuthenticatedEmployeeID()
This function does not accept any arguments.
NOTE: This function will only return the correct value when used in classic landing pages or microsites (a feature available in earlier Enterprise 2.0 accounts). When used in CloudPages, it will return the value related to the user who created the CloudPage, not a value related to the user who is accessing the page from the public URL.
Example
The following example uses the Lookup function on a customized page to conditionally display content based on the Marketing Cloud account user identifier of the user accessing the page with an active Marketing Cloud session (see note).
%%[
var @EmployeeID, @role
set @EmployeeID = AuthenticatedEmployeeID()
set @role = Lookup("Employees", "Role", "ID", @EmployeeID)
if @role == "Manager" then
]%%
<h2>Welcome to the Management Marketing Cloud Portal</h2>
<!-- management content here -->
%%[ else ]%%
<h2>Welcome to the Staff Marketing Cloud Portal</h2>
<!-- staff content here -->
%%[ endif ]%%Output
If the Lookup function returns Manager for the @employeeId variable, the following content will be displayed:
<h2>Welcome to the Management Marketing Cloud Portal</h2>
<!-- management content here -->
