How to get logged in user information in client script

[Rajanmehta]

Hello,

We are on NewYork version. I have a need to find out about logged in user field value on client script (on INC table).

How can I get that information? Below is the custom field value I need in client script. (Service Type) 

I am able to get user Id, but nothing beyond that. 

Please advise.

Thanks,

Client Script on INC table.

You don't have access to everything about the user client side.  Given your script is an onLoad, you may be better off using a display business rule to set a g_scratchpad variable and utilizing that in your onLoad script. See the following article for an example:
