Get username logged in Jenkins from Jenkins Workflow (Pipeline) Plugin

Question

I am using the Pipeline plugin in Jenkins by Clouldbees (the name was Workflow plugin before), I am trying to get the user name in the Groovy script but I am not able to ach

Answer 1

I modified @shawn derik response to get it to work in my pipeline:

    stage("preserve build user") {
            wrap([$class: 'BuildUser']) {
                GET_BUILD_USER = sh ( script: 'echo "${BUILD_USER}"', returnStdout: true).trim()
            }
        }

Then I can reference that variable later on by passing it or in the same scope as ${GET_BUILD_USER} . I installed the same plugin referenced.
