Remarks
The UserID element can be used to compare the value of a field to the current user ID. If the request is anonymous, this element, by default, causes the server to force authentication, which means it must display a dialog box in the browser that asks for a password or else it must initiate Windows NT challenge/response (NTLM). If a user has accounts on multiple subsites or Web applications, the user ID may be different in each case.
