    Hi,

    Not 100% sure but I think you can try the method umbraco.helper.GetCurrentUmbracoUser()

    Cheers,

    Richard

    pvassalo,

    I have done it in a datatype like this:

    [code]

    User u = UmbracoEnsuredPage.CurrentUser;

    [/code]

    Regards

    Ismail

    This worked for me.

    var member = umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.GetCurrentMember();

    Just to avoid confusion caused by the above answers:

    To get umbraco backend user (from Users section):

    umbraco.BusinessLogic.User u = umbraco.helper.GetCurrentUmbracoUser();
    

    To get current logged in website member (from Members section):

    using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member;
    ...
    Member member = Member.GetCurrentMember();

    In using this, I am finding it is not showing me the information for the currently logged in person. Instead it is showing the details for the past person to login to the web site. How can that be? How do I see who I am logged in as?

    What version of Umbraco are you using?

    Thanks, Jason

    I think I solved this. I had my code in a macro that was being cached for a minute and only at the page level, not for the user.

    For Umbraco 7, and assuming you are in a class that inherits from Umbraco.Web.UI.Pages.UmbracoEnsuredPage, you can simply call:

    var user = Security.CurrentUser;
