In order to find out the users logged in to a database, use the system view called sys.sysprocesses.

select * from sys.sysprocesses

returns you a host of information about the login name, Windows user name, processes running on an instance of SQL Server etc.. Check out the hostname, nt_username, loginame, nt_domain columns returned on executing the above query.

EXEC sp_who

EXEC sp_who2
