To configure logback to output the user, you can use the %user conversion word to reference the current user’s name.

Here is an example logback configuration file that includes a sample pattern for logging the user.

<configuration>
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] [%user] %logger{36} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
    
    <root level="DEBUG">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    </root>
</configuration>

In the configuration above, the %user will output the current user’s name in the log. The pattern in the element can be adjusted as needed.

With the above settings, the log output will include the current user’s name.
