    No data is retrieved from userService.getCurrentUser() in Umbraco V8

    Hi there,

    I am trying to get current user in the backoffice of Umbraco v8 by using userService.getCurrentUser() angular.js controller, but the function getCurrentUser() and userService are both undefined in my console.

    Could anyone please recommend the appropriate method of retrieving the user data?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    this works for me in my customDashboard

    angular.module("umbraco").controller("CustomWelcomeDashboardController", function ($scope, userService, logResource, entityResource, contentResource) {

    var vm = this;
    vm.UserName = "guest";
    vm.UserLogHistory = [];
    vm.IsAdmin = false;

    var user = userService.getCurrentUser().then(function (user) {
        vm.UserName = user.name;
        vm.IsAdmin = user.userGroups.includes("admin");
    });

... other stuff

}

    And in the dashboard html I display the username like so

    <h2>Welcome to Umbraco {{vm.UserName}}</h2>
