Hello @Ramesh Lakshmanasamy

Did you mean get user in code of some plugins like Scriptrunner?

If you do, you can use

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

If you write jira plugin
you need to import it directly 

@ComponentImport JiraAuthenticationContext jiraAuthenticationContext

@Mark MarkovI tried above solution but getting null.

Where are you tryin to get current user?

[Ramesh Lakshmanasamy]

inside class which has contain my businesslogic

[Mark Markov]

where you run your class, if you run it in another thread, there are no authentication context so user is null. So you'll need to pass the user as parameter.

Can you provide example of your code?

Does anyone know how to get this using Scriptrunner for Jira Cloud?

[Stan Dalenc]

I found 'user' does this so that you can use user.accountId to compare against, but it doesn't seem to work in all contexts like post functions.

just paste this code to the console.

btw this script will just let you know that you are logged in :D

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
