Custom Pages > How to access information about the current user
# Question
How can I access information about the currently logged-in user on a custom admin page?
# Answer
With Angularjs, you can inject the `adminService` and use the `getInfo()` function to get an object containing details about the current user.
```js
(function ()
{
module.controller( 'MyCustomController', MyCustomController );
MyCustomController.$inject = ['$scope', '$log', '$http', 'adminService'];
function MyCustomController( $scope, $log, $http, adminService)
{
adminService.getInfo().then(function(res) {
console.log(res.data);
});
}
} )();
```
Here we create a new controller called `MyCustomController` and specify to angular to include `adminService` in the injections. Once inside the controller function, we can then call `adminService.getInfo()` to get the http promise. The `res` object is the response, and the data about the user is in `res.data`. The structure of this data looks like this:
```
{
"BannerHtml": null,
"DataPoints": [...],
"Settings": { ... },
"User": {
"FirstName": "Joe",
"Id": 123456,
"IsDiscoUser": true,
"LastName": "Schmoe",
"RoleId": 100,
"Username": "myUserName"
},
"Permissions": ["ACTIVITY_LOG_VIEW", ... ]
}
```
The `data.User` object contains details related explicitly to the logged-in user, such as username, first and last name, and role ID.
