HI JLeong,

        Sorry my bad use this :

               outputs.result = gs.getUserID(); //getUserID() is a function.

Please Mark as correct or helpful if my solution help you to solve your query.

Hi Meghnath!

You were right!!!

It worked this time but the result is "system" not the logged in user.

Thanks again!!!

Need to change the "Run As". So it will return the user's sys ID

I am getting the UserID displayed versus the name; I remember seeing documentation for this but I cannot remember where.  Getting the UserID is display as "My name is E3fa1tkus..." VERSUS "My Name is Edward".  I want to display the actual user's first and last name if possible?

Hi ELAdrich,

gs.getUserDisplayName(); should work in that case.
