    Get current user

    Hi there,

    how do I get the current user within a DelegatingHandler when loading a page in the backoffice?

    I'm injecting the IUmbracoContextFactory and fetching the user like so, but it's always null.

    using (var contextReference = _umbracoContextFactory.EnsureUmbracoContext())
        {
            var user = contextReference.UmbracoContext.Security.CurrentUser;
        }

    Much appreciated.

    Hi Filipe,

    On the frontend of the website the user would be null, in the Umbraco backoffice you would be able to get a proper user.

    Cheers, Ruben

    Hi @Filipe Sousa, how did you managed to add DelegatingHandler in umbraco 8. I am struggling to migrate my code from v7 to v8 for custom delegatinghandler.

    Hi @Filipe Sousa,

    There is also a difference between trying to a User (an Umbraco CMS user) and a Member (like a user that is logged in to the frontend of the website). The former will not be resolved with "contextReference.UmbracoContext.Security.CurrentUser", while the latter can be resolved like this.

    Cheers, Ruben

    Filipe, you can try the following to get the current user:

    var wrapper = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
var currentUserObj = wrapper.GetCurrentIdentity(true);

    Hope it helps.
