# Get a User Object

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/overview/) now.

A `user` object can be created using the following method which does not fire a server side call. The ` userManagement`reference used in the code snippet below is the [ component instance.](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/web/v4/cloud-scale/authentication/get-comp-instance)

```javascript
//Get the user object passing the user id. 
var userManagement = catalyst.userManagement; 
var user = userManagement.userId(USER_ID);

```
