Hi,

 

The gs.hasRole is a GlideSystem(gs) method.

The gs.getUser(),hasRole method is a glideUser method.

 

They both achieve the same thing.

 

Most people will set a var like

var user = gs.getUser();

 

and then pull multiple details from the user like;

 

user.getID();

user.getLastName();

 

If this solved you issue please ark my answer as correct or as helpful
