   request.user in the correct way, if it is null that could indicate that there is no user logged in to your app. Could you check that you have a logged in user, and if you still have issues, respond with some detailed reproduction steps?

   Can you capture the request being made to the server? One way is to run the server with an environment variable set, VERBOSE=1 In this case it sounds like the session token may not be present.

   @gfosco I found the problem. In _User collection a field _session_token is present and if you fetch the user data form server, this field override the sessionToken saved in your browser.

   If you don't fetch the user, all request to server contain the right sessionToken and if you fetch the user data from the server, all next requests will contain the bad sessionToken come form the _session_token in user data fetched.

   +1, parse-server is not really usable in most cases without request.user returning client's user
