Checking logged in user in server script in widget

[-Andrew-]

Hi guys.

I'm trying to get the current logged in user in an if statement within the server script of my widget, i've tried the below and other ways but i'm stumped:

data.user = gs.getUserID();

	if(record.requester == data.user){
		data.showMyDelegated = true;
	}

//Have also tried:

	if(record.requester == gs.getUserID()){
		data.showMyDelegated = true;
	}

Hello Andrew ,

what is stored in record ?

i am assuming it must be a json 

try to put info ('My record'+JSON.stringify(record));

and see if the requestor element is present in that JSON .

if yes use the correct JSON element which must be "requestor"

PLEASE MARK MY ANSWER CORRECT IF IT HELP YOU

Hello!

the record.requester is as follow:

record.requester = gr.getDisplayValue('caller_id');

OKAY I THINK WE NEED TO see the full script can you post the script here please ?

also you are trying to get the name of the caller and comparing with used sys_id which might be the issue .

Replace with below and try comparing now

record.requester = gr.getValue('caller_id');

PLEASE MARK MY ANSWER CORRECT IF IT HELPS YOU

no problem - here's the full script:

	var localInput = input; //to safeguard pullution of "input" via BR or other scripts
	
	var alsoRequest = false;
	
	data.filterMsg = gs.getMessage("Search active shares");
	
	if (localInput && localInput.view === 'open')
		data.filterMsg = gs.getMessage("Search active shares");
	else if (localInput && localInput.view === 'close')
		data.filterMsg = gs.getMessage("Search inactive shares");

	function getField(gr, name) {
			var f = {};
			var id = gr.getUniqueValue();
			gr = new GlideRecord(gr.getRecordClassName());
			gr.get(id);
			f.display_value = gr.getDisplayValue(name);
			f.value = gr.getValue(name);
			var ge = gr.getElement(name);
		  if (ge) {
				var ed = ge.getED();
				if (ed)
					f.type = ed.getInternalType();
				f.label = ge.getLabel();
			}
			return f;
	}
	//get the filter record 
	function getMyRequestSysIds() {
