TypeError: Cannot read property 'getUserId'

Hello Great folks,

New to MSD CRM. Learning customizations at the moment.

I wrote a simple code in Javascript to read the current userid and I am the following error:


TypeError: Cannot read property 'getUserId' of undefined
    at getUserId (myname.crm.dynamics.com/.../new_JSStaff-FormType)
    at staffDisplayFormType (myname.crm.dynamics.com/.../new_JSStaff-FormType)
    at eval (eval at RunHandlerInternal (myname.crm.dynamics.com/.../ClientApiWrapper.aspx), <anonymous>:1:1)
    at RunHandlerInternal (myname.crm.dynamics.com/.../ClientApiWrapper.aspx)

    at OnScriptTagLoaded (myname.crm.dynamics.com/.../ClientApiWrapper.aspx)
    at myname.crm.dynamics.com/.../ClientApiWrapper.aspx

Code:

 function staffDisplayFormType()
{  
   var formType = Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType();

   switch (formType)
{
              case 1: alert('Form type is Create');
      
              var userId = getUserIdentity();
    
              alert(userId);

               break;
   
               case 2: alert('Form type is Update');
               break;
     
               case 3: alert('Form type is Readonly');
               break;
   
              default:  document.write("unknown form type")


}
}

function getUserIdentity()
{
      var auserid = Xrm.Page.Context.getUserId();

      return auserid;

}
