Viewer Profile
Overview
The VIEWER_PROFILE object is accessible from within Smarty templates and represents the User object for the currently logged in user. In the event that the current user is anonymous all calls made against this object will return no response. This object is the same as the OWNER_PROFILE object (which represents the User who owns the currently requested page).
