## Description
<section id='description'>

Now that we can ensure the user accessing the <em>/profile</em> is authenticated, we can use the information contained in 'req.user' on our page!

Go ahead and pass the object containing the variable <em>username</em> equaling <code>req.user.username</code> into the render method of the profile view. Then go to your <code>profile.pug</code> view and add the line <code>h2.center#welcome Welcome, #{username}!</code> creating the h2 element with the class 'center' and id 'welcome' containing the text 'Welcome, ' and the username!

Also in the profile, add a link to <em>/logout</em>. That route will host the logic to unauthenticate a user. <code>a(href='/logout') Logout</code>

Submit your page when you think you've got it right. If you're running into errors, you can check out the project completed up to this point <a href='https://gist.github.com/camperbot/136b3ad611cc80b41cab6f74bb460f6a' target='_blank'>here</a>.
