The glide user(g_user) method can be used in which contexts?

• A. Can be used in client script, UI policies and UI actions
• B. Can only be used on the server
• C. Can be used in client scripts and server scripts only
• D. Is deprecated and should not be used

Answer: (A)

GlideUser g_user is a client-side object representing the user who is currently logged in, giving quick access to identity and role information directly in the browser. Because it runs on the client, you can use it in client scripts, UI policies, and client-side UI actions to tailor behavior or visibility based on who the user is. For example, g_user.hasRole('admin') can guard code paths or show certain fields only to admins. If you need to enforce checks on the server, you’d use server-side APIs like gs.hasRole or GlideSession, since g_user isn’t available there. So the contexts where g_user can be used are client script, UI policies, and UI actions.
