If that doesn't work, you might have to fall back on a user event script (before load, print context, to add a custom field to the transaction with the user's id). Then you can access the user id via the custom field in the template

so weird that I can get user fields except the actual ID

really don’t want to have to do &lt;#if user.firstname == ‘Bob’&gt;do stuff&lt;/#if&gt;

I'd recommend the script (or workflow) approach to pass in the id if you can't get it via the standard properties

`&lt;p&gt;Test nluser ${nluser}&lt;/p&gt;`

`&lt;p&gt;Test user.firstname ${user.firstname}&lt;/p&gt;`

(fills in the first name of current user)

but for obvious reasons would prefer to reference `user.id` instead of `user.firstname` when doing conditionals

super weird, `nluser` should work. if you look at the xml printout of your transaction record (append url with `&amp;xml=t` ), you can see all the values within the record. `nluser` is definitely the internal ID of the user accessing the record if you ctrl+f it

Yup, looks like NS adds the current user's id to the record itself each time the record is loaded.
