I am working on a shiny app where I am using bookmarks. So when host this app on shinyapps.io I am dont want other users to see the bookmarks which I did using my user login. I tried using User = Sys.getenv("LOGNAME")) but it always returns the username as Shiny.

That is the user that the code is running as on our server.
You may want the session$clientData?

It did work with session$user for a private app with standard shinyapp.io subscription.
