javascript - name of current user?

[fx3000se]

Sounds like a simple question:
In Javascript: how do I find out the name of the currently logged in user?

I tried with the root objects "person" and "session" but couldn't get name out of them…

Thx

If you're after username, then it's

person.properties.userName‍

Thanks,

Dear Folks,

I am also getting the same issue.

I always get the admin as current logged in User even though I am logging as normal user.

Please help me with the issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am using alfresco v 3.4.3 and I have tried to replicate your scenario where in I have created a webscript which will just fetch me the current user name.

Below is the reference code :
1. xyz.get.js file

function main()
{ 
   model.currentUserDetails = person.properties.userName;
}

main();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. xyz.get.json.ftl file

{       
        "userName":"${currentUserDetails}"                    
}
‍‍‍‍‍

3. xyz.get.desc.xml file - description file

<webscript>
  <shortname>CurrentUser</shortname>
  <url>/api/user/currentuser</url>
  <format default="json"/>
  <authentication>user</authentication>
<transaction allow="readonly">required</transaction>
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This is giving me the correct logged in user.

One probable reason I could think of is - admin user must be in browser history/Cache. You may try clearing the browser history and see if it works or not.

Please share if you found the root cause of why person.properties.userName always gives you the admin user.

Thanks,
