From where you want to pull the User details ?

Do you have any User field OR you want to get info from logged in user?

Refer for script -

Hello

Better use GlideAjax:

Try the following way

1. Script Include:

Name: GetUserDetails

Client callable: Checked

Script:

var GetUserDetails = Class.create();

GetUserDetails.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

getDetails: function(){

  var email = '';

  var name= this.getParameter('sysparm_user_id');

  var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

  gr.addQuery('sys_id', name);

  gr.query();

  if(gr.next())

    {

    email = gr.location.getDisplayValue();

  }

  return email;

},

type: 'GetUserDetails'

});

2.Client Script:

Let me know if you need anything else

Please use below code

g_form.setValue('user',g_user.userID);

var user = g_form.getReference("name"); // assuming   name is reference field form sys_user table

g_form.setValue('company',user.department.name);

FYI. Two level of dotwalking will not work in client script, you need to use GlideAjax to get the department details.
