Does someone know how I can get the current user id with jscript in Smart Office?

I think this might be what you are after

var userID = UserContext.User

I have tried that, but it does not work for me.

I get this error:

Type 'Mango.Services.UserContext' does not have such a static member

To be sure we are comparing apples with apples we are running 13.2 OnPrem, so if you are running a later version the following might not be of any use.

Before my previous message I checked with this test script

import MForms;

package MForms.JScript {
   class TEST {
      public function Init(element: Object, args: Object, controller : Object, debug : Object) {

         var userID = UserContext.User;
         debug.WriteLine(userID);

      }
   }
}

If you run this in your Script Tool do you get the same error message?

I find that I get this error message "error JS1246: Type 'MForms.UserContext' does not have such a static member" if I use UserContext.user rather than UserContext.User

I'm running 13.4 on prem.

I tried both small and capital letter but get the same error in the script tool (error JS1246: Type 'Mango.Services.UserContext').

But I tihink you helped me found the, I removed one import ( import Mango.Services) and now I do not get the error message änymore.

Thank you!!
