Is it possible to access the _ **Discourse.User** _ variable from an iframe which has the following code?

> const loggedIn = parent.Discourse.User.current();  
> var quiz\_taker = loggedIn.username;

I set _ **DISCOURSE\_ENABLE\_CORS** _ to true, however it is not working. (added the domain in settings as well) =\> then rebuilt the app
