In general and to summarize the previous suggestions, the advice is: make sure to review the documentation forum.appian.com/.../Scripting_Functions The loggedinuser() consistently works if you take in consideration the documented behavior:

- If there is no user context, such as when used in an expression in an unattended node, it returns a null value.
- It is only applicable in situations where there is a user context pre-populated for the activity, such as when executing a Quick Task or a subsequent activity-chained task.
---> As long as you don't un-check the "Refresh default values every time the task form is viewed" checkbox which comes enabled by default for quick tasks.

- In task forms that do not follow an activity-chained flow you need to select the "Refresh default values every time the task form is viewed" checkbox on the Other tab of the activity, otherwise will return "Administrator"
