DCady Can you tell us which script editor web part are you using (any link to web part sample)? 

 

I am using this Script Editor web part and I can get the user details using _spPageContextInfo variable (no need of JSOM/REST API call). For example, below code will return the title/display name of user:

 

_spPageContextInfo.userDisplayName

 

 Similarly you can get user ID, Email & login name as mentioned in this post: Get user logged on sharepoint online .

 

Here is working example:

 

<p id="pWelcomeMsg"></p>

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById("pWelcomeMsg").innerHTML = "Hey " + _spPageContextInfo.userDisplayName + ", welcome to our site";
</script>

Thanks for reaching out! I am currently utilizing that same script editor web part, that you have posted below. I am not exactly sure why it's not rendering the code. I have used the script editor to render other JS and HTML code but when it comes to obtaining user information, it will not render on my modern SharePoint page. I have attempted to utilize your example below with no luck. Also, I am an admin with full access.

    DCady You have to enable the access to classic _spPageContextInfo from web part settings like:
