I found a much easier way  it doesn t even use SP UserProfiles js  I don t know if it applies to each one s particular case  but definitely worth sharing     assume we have a client context called context  var web   context get web    var user   web get currentUser      must load this to access info  context load user   context executeQueryAsync function        alert  User is      user get title       there is also id  email  so this is pretty useful     function   alert             Anyways  thanks to your answers  I got to mingle a bit with UserProfiles  even though it is not really necessary for my case
