Hi @manikandan90 
Please check

Workflow Initiator : https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/6-5/javadoc/com/adobe/granite/workflow/exec/Workflow.html#getInitiator-- 

Workflow Current Assignee : https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/6-5/javadoc/com/adobe/granite/workflow/exec/WorkItem.html#getCurrentAssignee--

A workflow process step is a piece of code, which runs in the background. For that it is not bound to a HTTP request and also not to a user in the first place. 

That means that in a process step the concept of a "current user" simply does not exist.

Hi @manikandan90 ,

To get the initiator https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/workflows-get-initiator-in-a-workflow-route/m-p/165084

or  history of participant https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/how-to-find-participants-assigned-to-participant-step-in/m-p/188386

In case if it return service user we may try to retrieve the data from end result like You may check this similar thread https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/need-help-with-aem-approval-workflow-initiator/td-p/659722

Thanks

Are you referring to initiator of the workflow user if that’s the case then please refer to https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/is-it-possible-to-get-the-current-user-in-the-workflow/m-p/446998

current user can be found from session object 

session.getUserID();

I am not sure what’s the use case you have to get the current use in workflow process step and I believe in workflow you work with workflow session and not the current user session.
