hey. im looking for a way to get the current logged in employee from a user event script but can't find anything useful in the docs or searching. anyone here knows how to do it?

You might want to look up into runtime.getCurrentUser() [SS-1.0 = nlapiGetUser()] if that's what you meant by User.

Thanks, but that method returns the user executing the script which is the one that created the script record. but not the logged in user that triggered the event script so I can store the employee that created/edited a record in our internal systems.

What does your UE say on the deployment, Execute as???

sorry, i didnt get that

Go to the script Deployment and check for what the Execute As field is set to
