As we migrated our solutions and scripts from SP2010 to SP2013 my script ran into some weird error where I could not fetch the current logged in user with "_spUserId" anymore.

var user = _spUserId

As a workaround I'm using

user = currentWeb.get_currentUser();

now..

Anyone with an Explanation? Is _spUserId obsolete in SP2013? Or is this some local problem?

Thanks alot for your responses

Tom

Yes _spUserId is deprecated in SP2013. Use _spPageContextInfo.userId instead.

    They just moved the variable within the global context object.
