[python-win32] User login details when running a service

[Waseem Afser]

Is there any possible method to get the logged in user's username from a
windows service ?

FYI: getpass.getuser() and other similar methods return the computer name
instead of the username of the user when the script runs as a service.

Your assumption that there is only one "logged in user” is false, which is why 
the information you seek is not readily available.

There is a WMI query that can return the name of all logged in users:
