hey sid,

Please refer below:

The GlideUser (g_user) Class

The GlideUser API provides methods and non-method properties for finding information about the currently logged in user and their roles. The typical use cases are personalizing feedback to the user and inspecting user roles. Note that client-side validation in any web application is easily bypassed.

The GlideUser API has properties and methods to:

• Retrieve the user's:
  • First name
  • Full name
  • Last name
  • User ID
  • User name
• Determine if a user has a particular role assigned

The GlideUser methods and non-method properties are accessed through the global g_user object which is only available in client-side scripts. To use methods and properties from the GlideUser class use the syntax:

g_user.<method or property name>

For example, the GlideUser API has a property called userName. The userName property's value is the currently logged in user's user name. The example script shows the difference between the firstName, lastName, userName, and userID property values.

alert("g_user.firstName = " + g_user.firstName 
   	+ ", \n g_user.lastName = " + g_user.lastName 
   	+ ", \n g_user.userName = " + g_user.userName 
   	+ ", \n g_user.userID = " + g_user.userID);

The alert generated by the script is:
