You can access user data directly in the twig template without requesting anything in the controller  The user is accessible like that   app user    Now  you can access every property of the user  For example  you can access the username like that   app user username   Warning  if the user is not logged  the app user is null   If you want to check if the user is logged  you can use the is granted twig function  For example  if you want to check if the user has ROLE ADMIN  you just have to do is granted  ROLE ADMIN     So  in every of your pages you can do       if is granted  ROLE          Hi    app user username       endif
