Hi Arun,

Thanks for the details. But when I tried in AEM 6.4 and AEM 6.4 SP2 I am able to see CQ_User variable, not sure whether it is added back

Ahh ok, that means it is available in current version of AEM 6.4

In author mode, we can read the current user/details by below variable

CQ_User

CQ_User.data.userID

Hope this helps

Hi Ravi,

I've just checked this in 6.3 and found CQ_User.data.userID works only in Classic UI whereas Granite.HTTP.externalize('/libs/granite/security/currentuser.json'); Ajax approach is compatible with both UI.

function getLoggedInUserID() {

        var currentUserId = "";

        var currentUserInfo;

        var CURRENT_USER_JSON_PATH = Granite.HTTP.externalize('/libs/granite/security/currentuser.json');

        var result = Granite.$.ajax({

            type: "GET",

            async: false,

            url: CURRENT_USER_JSON_PATH

        });

        if (result.status === 200) {

            currentUserInfo = JSON.parse(result.responseText);

            currentUserId = currentUserInfo.authorizableId;

        }

        return currentUserId;

    }
