Get Information About the Current User user.current

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: user, user_brief, user_basic

Who can execute the method: any user

The method user.current retrieves information about the [current](current_key) user.

The list of user fields in Bitrix24 that will be obtained as a result of executing the method depends on the application's/webhook's scope. Details about user data access can be found in the article.

The method has no parameters. However, by making a REST request using data from $_REQUEST to the domain DOMAIN and adding AUTH_ID to the request for access to Bitrix24, you can find out which user opened the page in the context of Bitrix24.
