tfs 2013 pass生成变量post build脚本powershell

Question

I am using default build template with TFS 2013 and want to pass the name of the person, who initiated the build, as a variable to a post build powershell script. I know, that there are a couple of "env:TF_BUILD..." variables, that are filled during build process, but I couldn't find a variable, that holds the "user", who triggered the build. The variable I am looking for is suppose to be something like "$BUILD_REQUESTEDFOR".

I try to put a -user "$BUILD_REQUESTEDFOR" into section 2.5 as Post-build script arguments in a build definition, but it seems, that it wouldn't be filled or interpreted.

Is there something i have missed or is there an other way to get my problem solved.

Any help appreciated.

The predefined variable "$BUILD_REQUESTEDFOR" is only available for vNext build (TFS 2015 and later version). See Build variables for details.

For xaml build, there isn't the variable to get the current user who triggered the build within the build process. See Team Foundation Build environment variables for details.
