Issue with getting currently logged in user in Action Flow

[miro2]

Hi folks,

How to get currently logged in user name and use it in condition in Action Rest step.

I added lookup record step, when sys_id is javascript:gs.getUserID() and as an output I used Name from User record data pill step.

Got error that no record was found.

but when I hardcoded sys_id I received what I expected

Hi @miro2 ,

Your flow will run as system or one who initiate the session?

If Run as - System -> then gs.getUserID() won't help

If Run as -> User who initiates session -> then gs.getUserID() will help

Hi @Gunjan Kiratkar 
works for flow if Run as -> User who initiates session
