How to get the current user that is logged in via active admin?

Question

I would like to know how to get the current user that is logged in via the active admin GUI?

Thanks in advance

MODEL

admin_user.rb

class AdminUser < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :token_authenticatable, :confirmable,
  # :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, 
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  # Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :id  , :admin_permission
  # attr_accessible :title, :body
  has_one :admin_permission
  validates_uniqueness_of :email

  def self.current_logged_user
    # ?
  end
end

UPDATE

When I try to use the method 'current_user' in dashboard.rb or any active admin related file, apparently it is not implemented.

OUTPUT

undefined local variable or method `current_user' for

The active admin user is called AdminUser by default. The corresponding devise helper method is therefore current_admin_user.

Thanks. It works! Eg: logger.debug "Current Admin User: #{current_admin_user.email}" – ipegasus May 09 '13 at 22:06
ActiveAdmin 2 : `undefined local variable or method `current_admin_user'` – Cyril Duchon-Doris Jun 09 '23 at 09:07

reload the page and see in your terminal, in this case, puts the correct current_user logged email.

index do
    column :name
    column :email
    column :slug
    column :partner
    puts current_user.email
    default_actions
end

Thanks for your help. The system returns: undefined local variable or method `current_user'. It looks like the method 'curret_user' needs to be implemented – ipegasus May 09 '13 at 20:41
`current_user` does work for me on Rails 5.2.6 within the block of `ActiveAdmin.register` – Vajk Hermecz Aug 30 '22 at 13:33
