In Enketo, records the account username only if [authentication is required](https://support.kobotoolbox.org/project_sharing_settings.html#allowing-submissions-without-authentication).<br><br>**Note:** Because the `username` field can be edited in KoboCollect, it may not match the account used to authenticate to the server. To see which account submitted the data, refer to the automatically generated `_submitted_by` field. |
