User Permissions Needed

To build, edit, and manage a community’s Site.com custom pages:

Create and Set Up Communities

Site.com Publisher User field enabled on the user detail page

AND

Site administrator or designer role assigned at the site level

Open the page on which you want to display the current community user's information.
From the Page Elements pane, drag a Content Block or Custom Code page element onto the page.
Type {!CurrentUser. and the value that you want to display.
For example, {!CurrentUser.firstName}.

Check the list of available expressions for displaying current user information.
Add any additional text you require.
For example, Welcome back {!CurrentUser.firstName}!.
If you're in a Content Block, click Save. If you're in a Custom Code element, click Save and Close.

Note If an unauthenticated user views a page that contains CurrentUser expressions, the current user information does not appear. For example, if an unauthenticated user viewed a page that contained the previous example, the user sees “Welcome back !” as the welcome message.
