How to get the sys_id of logged in user to the Portal?

[sndev1099]

Hi, 

Can anyone help me in getting the sys_id of the logged in user on the service portal? 

I'm creating a catalog client script and I need to get the sys_id of the currently logged in user but g_user.userID(); isn't working. Will I need to use GlideAjax here? 

Any help would be great.

userID is a property and not a method which is why we dont use ().
