# get guid

This block is part of the [`users`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/users) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Returns the guid (field: _meta.guid) of the given user

- user required `user`

- value `value`

[get guid](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/users/user_get_guid) takes the user from [current user](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/users/user_current) and outputs its guid as a plain value. That value typically ends up in a term query, here the selected field of [fields](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/query/query_bool_term_fields) inside a [must](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/query/query_bool_must).
