# Get the authenticated user

The authenticated user is obtained via the Application Context:

```javascript
    const { context } = this.props.dpapp;
    context.getMe().then(user => console.log(user));
```

You can read more about the `getMe` method and the type it resolves with in the API reference: <https://deskpro.github.io/apps-sdk-core/reference/Context.html#getMe>
