Default Set Default Value to User Function in Table Design

I have 2 functions that find the user name and machine name. I want to set
these functions as the default value for the respective fields in the Table
design but it won't let me. However I can set them in a Form with the
respective fields on the form. Is this normal?

Yes. You cannot use user-defined functions in table defaults or in table
validation; you can on a form.
