Javascript Question

[mmoore1]

Is there a javascript that I can use that will return a user's full name.  I have been fairly successful using Javascripts on .html pages, but I need to return the user's name for a certificate after certain modular requirements are met.

Hi  @mmoore1  

No executable scripting is permitted in Canvas pages or anywhere else with an RCE. This is done for security reasons..

I am sure others will provide you with a much longer and more detailed answer, but that is the bottom line.

It looks like Display Name is the only one available in the ENV variable

ENV.current_user.display_name

You would probably have to use the API to grab their Full Name. Assuming you're doing this in the Global Javascript file.
