Explanation

GlideUser (g_user) is a client-side JavaScript object that provides information about the currently logged-in user. Because it runs in the browser (client side), it is available in Client Scripts and UI Policies (both client-side). It is also available in UI Actions when they execute client-side code. It is NOT available in server-side scripts such as Business Rules or Script Includes, which run on the server and instead use the GlideSession or GlideUser server-side APIs. Therefore, the correct scope is Client Scripts, UI Policies, and UI Actions.
