Get the Manager of the Current SharePoint user Using SPServices and GetUserProfileByName

Introduction
We  get the current user’s manager and put the value into a Person or Group column in a list. This one only works in SharePoint Server 2010 & SharePoint Foundation .because the UserProfileService Web Service is only available there. The code is relatively straightforward: a call to SPServices to get the results from  GetUserProfileByName and then a little more code to poke it into the appropriate Person or Group column. In this case, the Person or Group column is called ‘Manager’

Code  Steps
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../JSLibrary/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../JSLibrary/jquery.SPServices-0.4.8.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var managerName;
        var userName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser();
        $().SPServices({
            operation: "GetUserProfileByName",
            async: false,
            AccountName: userName,
            completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
                managerName = $(xData.responseXML).text();
                var managerLength = managerName.length;
                var indexofManager = managerName.indexOf("Manager");
                managerName = managerName.substring(indexofManager + 13, managerLength);
                var indexOffalse = managerName.indexOf("false");
                managerName = managerName.substring(0, indexOffalse);
            }
        });
        var peoplepicker = $("tr:contains('Reporting Manager'):last").find("div[title='People Picker']");
        peoplepicker.html(managerName);
    });</script>
 
The available values from GetUserProfileByName in sharepoint 2010 environment are:
  • UserProfile_GUID
  • AccountName
  • FirstName
  • LastName
  • PreferredName
  • WorkPhone
  • Office
  • Department
