How to get manager email for a logged-in user using javascript?

[runfast]

I am trying to populate a form with the logged in user manager email.   I can get the manager name using the manager ID but I am have a little bit of challenge getting the manager email address.

I found this article to get manager of manager. I tried to tweak it without any luck.

How can you get manager of manage of logged-in user as default value?

gs.getUser().getUserByID(gs.getUser().getManagerID()).getManagerID();

Any guidance or direction greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi Alex,

You will need to call a glide record for this, the below should work.

var manager = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

manager.get(gs.getUser().managerID);

manager.email

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Use Script include code mentioned below:

getMEID: function(){

var mid = gs.getUserID();
var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
gr.addQuery('sys_id', mid );

gr.query();
var meid = '';

if (gr.next()) {

meid = gr.manager.email;//.email;

}

return meid;
},

Client Script:

var ga = new GlideAjax('GetManagerEmail') ;
ga.addParam('sysparm_name','getMEID');
ga.getXMLWait();
alert(ga.getAnswer());

Thanks

Hello runfast, 

You donot need to write any script for this 

OOB this is available using this way

var managerID = gs.getUser().getManagerID();

Hope this helps 

Mark the response as correct if that really helps so that others having the same question can find it easy

Thanks,

Hi runfast, this worked for me very well.

javascript:gs.getUser().getUserByID(gs.getUser().getManagerID()).getRecord().getDisplayValue("email");
