If you are using PowerShell prompt on Mac Terminal and want to know who is currently logged in, you can make use of the below commands,
Option 1: who command
PS /> who
code2care console Sep 14 10:58
code2care ttys000 Sep 14 10:58
code2care ttys001 Sep 14 10:58
Option 2: whoami command
PS /> whoami
code2care
Option 3: $env:USER command
PS /> $env:USER
code2care
Note: As PowerShell is not native to macOS, the command that works on PowerShell for Windows may not work and you will get an error.
PS /> (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem).UserName
Get-WmiObject: The term 'Get-WmiObject' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
verify that the path is correct and try again.
