how do i check to see what account is using?

Answer 1

The results will depend on how you've secured your WCF service, anonymous, windows integrated, basic, are you using impersonation, etc.

In general though you can check the identity of the current process with the following:

EDIT: simple WCF method to return the account

public string GetUserName() {
  return System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
}
