Get Full Name of current user

Hello

I found this msdn link with javascript functions: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334511.aspx

I am interested in getting easily the full name and the position of the current user.

Is this possible or do I have to use a function with oData or SOAP (something like this http://crmxpg.nl/wp/2010/05/18/return-multiple-fields-from-any-entity-via-ms-crm-webservices/)?

Best regards

Yes, we can use the oData REST web service to query for the currently logged on user. Read more here:

RE: Get Full Name of current user

Yes I got it at this moment now, thank you very much! My solution:

function GetUserField(sField) { var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl(); var ODataPath = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc"; var userRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); userRequest.open("GET", ODataPath + "/SystemUserSet(guid'" + Xrm.Page.context.getUserId() + "')", false); userRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); userRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); userRequest.send(); if (userRequest.status === 200) { var retrievedUser = JSON.parse(userRequest.responseText).d; if(sField == "fullname") { return retrievedUser.FullName; } else if(sField == "title") { return retrievedUser.Title; } else { return "Error! Field not found!"; } } else { return "Error! Wrong status!"; } } var sFullname = GetUserField("fullname"); var sTitle = GetUserField("title");

Try with below function

function getUserInfo() {

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open("GET", encodeURI(Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/SystemUserSet(guid'" + Xrm.Page.context.getUserId() + "')?$select=FullName,Title"), false);

req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

req.send();

var result = JSON.parse(req.responseText).d;

if (result.FullName !=null)

var FullName = result.FullName;

if (result.Title != null)

var Title = result.Title;

}

RE: Get Full Name of current user

Thank you very much! It is exactly what I am looking for.

But one problem:

I cannot see how I can save the retrieved fields into variables, I tried to return the values, but I got "undefined" as an answer.

I tried to do a return instead of alert..

RE: Get Full Name of current user

Hi,

You need to use oData to get the current user's full name, try the function below:

function Getinfo() {

var context;

var serverUrl;

var UserID;

var ODataPath;

context = Xrm.Page.context;

serverUrl = context.getServerUrl();

UserID = context.getUserId();

ODataPath = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";

var retrieveUserReq = new XMLHttpRequest();

retrieveUserReq.open("GET", ODataPath + "/SystemUserSet(guid'" + UserID + "')", true);

retrieveUserReq.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

retrieveUserReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

retrieveUserReq.onreadystatechange = function () {

retrieveUserReqCallBack(this);

};

retrieveUserReq.send();

}

function retrieveUserReqCallBack(retrieveUserReq) {

if (retrieveUserReq.readyState == 4 /* complete */) {

if (retrieveUserReq.status == 200) {

var retrievedUser = this.parent.JSON.parse(retrieveUserReq.responseText).d;

if (retrievedUser.FullName != null) {

var UserGUID = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

var USerFullName = retrievedUser.FullName;

var UserTitle = retrievedUser.Title;

alert(USerFullName + " - " + UserTitle );

}

//To check picklist

if (retrievedUser.AccessMode != null)

{ }

}

else {

alert("Error in Fetching User data");

}

}

}

Hi Raphi,

In that case you can do an oData Query to get your User and it's Position which is available within the User Record.

Thanks

Hi

I already got that, but I need also the position. It would be nice if there were some more functions in CRM..
