How to access Logged-In User Details in Model-Driven Apps Using JavaScript

When building custom logic in a Model-Driven App, you may need to retrieve the GUID or name of the currently logged-in user. This is especially useful for implementing user-specific behavior or validations.

The Model-Driven Apps Client API offers a convenient method to access user-specific details like ID and name.

Get Current User ID

To fetch the current user’s ID (GUID), use the following line of JavaScript –

const userId = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userId 
// {17B913D4-B13F-F011-8779-0022485A263C}

const userId = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userId 
// {17B913D4-B13F-F011-8779-0022485A263C}

Get Current User Name

Similarly, you can retrieve the display name of the current user using the following code –

const userName = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userName // John Smith

const userName = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.userName // John Smith
