It depends on the provider. For example, in LINQ to Entities against SQL Server you can use
SqlFunctions– which has aUserNamemethod which corresponds toUSER_NAME()in Transact-SQL. (There are many other methods and properties. For the current user, you can just use theCurrentUserproperty, for example.)
