# Users

> Get the current Phoenix user with @arizeai/phoenix-client

The users module identifies the user associated with the client's current credentials.

## Get The Current User

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { getCurrentUser } from "@arizeai/phoenix-client/users";

const user = await getCurrentUser();

if (user.auth_method === "ANONYMOUS") {
  console.log("Authentication is disabled");
} else {
  console.log(`${user.username} has the ${user.role} role`);
}
```

`getCurrentUser()` returns the generated Phoenix API user union. Authenticated deployments return a local, OAuth 2, or LDAP user profile. When authentication is disabled, it returns `{ auth_method: "ANONYMOUS" }`. Invalid credentials reject with an `HttpError` whose `status` is `401`; other authorization failures retain their HTTP status as well.

Pass a client explicitly when you need custom configuration:

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { createClient } from "@arizeai/phoenix-client";
import { getCurrentUser } from "@arizeai/phoenix-client/users";

const client = createClient({
  options: { baseUrl: "https://phoenix.example.com" },
});

const user = await getCurrentUser({ client });
```
