After authentication, the ``User`` object of the current user can be accessed
via the ``security.token_storage`` service. From inside a controller, this will
look like::

use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface;
via the ``getUser()`` shortcut (which uses the ``security.token_storage``
service). From inside a controller, this will look like::

public function indexAction()
{
$this->denyAccessUnlessGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY');

$user = $this->getUser();
// or you can also type-hint a method argument with UserInterface: e.g. "UserInterface $user"
}

.. tip::

The user will be an object and the class of that object will depend on
your :ref:`user provider <security-user-providers>`.

.. versionadded:: 3.2
The ability to get the user by type-hinting an argument with UserInterface
was introduced in Symfony 3.2.

Now you can call whatever methods are on *your* User object. For example,
if your User object has a ``getFirstName()`` method, you could use that::
