I'm trying to use this feature of passing the name of the user logged in to the record when a new record is created and it is just not working and for the life of me can not figure out why, clearly I'm missing something.

Airtable has a built in CreatedBy field. It sounds like this is what you are trying todo. Then when an record is update happens you have LastModifiedBy

+29I also initially expected that the “user who took action” for a “when record created” trigger would be the user who created the record, but it currently is not.
As far as I can tell, the “user who took action” only knows about users who push interface buttons that trigger automation and users who edit field values.
