Unfortunately, the custom Javascript problems don’t have access to user ID or username.
You’re better off using an XBlock or LTI integration if you need this information with your submissions. See:
Thank you very much. but i managed to get username from the browser cookies in Javascript problem, then i fetched userID against that username from the local Edx database. All done in python code [problem component editor], i just had to disable the code_jail module.
Problem solved. 
Many Thanks !
