Add name of user in page
tifanny034 Do you want to add name of user on all SharePoint pages or single page?
Unfortunately, there is no SharePoint default web part available to show the current logged in user's name OR web part which supports using custom JavaScript.
I have previously achieved this using Script editor web part for modern pages developed by Mikael Svenson using SPFx. Here's the configuration of web part:
Output:
Code used:
<p id="pWelcomeMsg"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("pWelcomeMsg").innerHTML = "Hey " + _spPageContextInfo.userDisplayName + ", welcome to our site";
</script>

Hi ganeshsanap
Tried a few times with the code you provided but keep getting this error message
also, i do not see the Modern Script editor part anywhere, is that an old feature?
thank you
Above code does not work with the SharePoint default embed web part. You have to use the custom Modern script web part developed using SPFx.
You can find the custom web part code at: Script editor web part for modern pages
You have to download the code and create package by following steps given at: Minimal Path to Awesome

- OH, I see thank you.
So there is not an out of the box way to achieve this. Shame.
