This object holds information about the current user who is logged onto the machine using Nitro PDF

Example: This JavaScript gets the login name of the user and stores it in a global variable (called login)
that can be used by any other JavaScript. Because the identity object is only permitted during the console,

(.js) that was executed when Nitro Pro starts.
global.login = identity.loginName;
