tried a couple of things but im unable to get this to work, though I was close via the VPE element Local Database, but those also only give limited access to some variables.

 

my conclusion is that you can't access the first name, last name and email address. this is kinda weird as they are stored so why not allow access. so perhaps someone else knows how to do this or knows for sure it isn't possible. in any case if you can please open a support case and report back the answer.

 

a possible (though ugly) work around would be the groups option in the local database, it has been abused for something similar before, see links below.
