The session object in NocoDB Scripts gives information about the user who runs the script.

The `session` object gives information about the current user, that is, the user who runs the script. Use it to get the identity and permissions of this user.

## Overview

The `session` object is available in every NocoDB script. Use it to get the information of the current user (ID, name, email).

## Properties

| Property      | Type           | Description                                                                |
| ------------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `currentUser` | `Collaborator` | A Collaborator object for the current user who runs the script (read-only) |

## Usage Examples

### Getting Current User Information

```javascript
// Access the current user information
const currentUser = session.currentUser;

output.markdown('# Current User Information');
output.text(`ID: ${currentUser.id}`);
output.text(`Name: ${currentUser.name || 'No name set'}`);
output.text(`Email: ${currentUser.email}`);
```
