# Get Current User

You can obtain the details of the current [end user](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/users/introduction/) of your application by calling the `getCurrentUser()` method. Upon successful execution, this method will return the current user object. You can fetch the user's details that are registered in Catalyst, such as their first name, last name, or email address, using this.

The code syntax for obtaining the current user is given below:

```bash
ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getCurrentUser(
    success: (ZCatalystUser) → Unit,
    failure: ((ZCatalystException) → Unit)?
): ZCatalystRequest<ZCatalystResponse<ZCatalystUser>>?

```

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getCurrentUser(
    {
        user ->
        println("The current user is : ${user.firstName}")
    },
    {
        exception ->
        println("Get current user failed! $exception")
    }
    )

```
