Getting the current Grafana user

[MacroPower]

I am getting the current username like this:

ctrl.$scope.$$childTail.$root.$$childTail.$$prevSibling.$$prevSibling.$$prevSibling.ctrl.searchSrv.backendSrv.contextSrv.user.login

This would return admin since I'm logged in as admin.

Is there any simpler way?

I would really like to know how to do this as well.

@mhollins I ended up writing my own plugin for it. https://github.com/MacroPower/macropower-analytics-panel Might help depending on your use case.
