What will gs.getUserID() return in case the requester of a task replies a "pending-customer action" notification email sent from the system ?

My understanding is that the incoming email's from: address is searched for in the sys_user table, and if found, that is the user that is used as the current user. If they are not there, the inbound email may not be processed.

Hi Chuck,
I used gs.getUserID() in a script action attachment.read and it is returning 'System' as the current user logged in.
I need to log who viewed the attachment in work notes of an incident. But it is returning as if system viewed/downloaded the attachment with whoever I impersonate.
Is there another way to call the current user logged in.

Currently valid links:
gs.getUserID(): returns the sys_id of the current user.gs.getUser(): returns a reference to the user object for the current user.
When in doubt, head to ServiceNow Developers and consult the Reference section - it will contain information about all publicly supported APIs.
