How to get current logged in user in server side and client side

[Shree_G]

Hello @chintuch227 ,

To get current logged in user in Server Side :

gs.getUserId() - Returns Sys ID of the user currently logged in

gs.getUser() : Returns a reference to a object for currently logged in user.

gs.getUserDisplayName() : Returns value of the currentlu logged in user. Eg. "Don Joe" 

Client Side :

g_user.userId()
