I am using a google apps script and writing a script for my google spreadsheet. I need to take the windows login id so that I can know who is filling up the spreadsheet. All my searches in the web yield the code that looks like this: 

var wshell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
alert(wshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%"));

But google apps throws an error saying ActiveX not found. I am new to JavaScript and Google Apps.

Thanks a lot.

This is not possible nor should it be as it would be a huge security issue.

Reason it doesn't work on windows in explorer is because your google-apps-script code get sanitized by google-caja.
