best way to declare Global variables on Service Portal (server side)?

[Aviv S_]

Hi

I have many widgets on diff pages on the service portal that use and make the same query (glideRecord query).
The results depend on the current user, and I want to avoid making this calls and just hold the result once (lets say while the user login).
What's the best way without use the GlideSession API?

In other words, I want to extend the GlideUser API that I could get additional info that not exist on this API today.

Hi David

As I mentioned above, indeed GlideSession API could be used, and we already use it,
but I wonder if there is other (better) way so those values won't be depend on session.
