There is a global variable $isLoggedIn but when I try to dump like this&nbsp;

```
 {$sUserLoggedIn|@var\_dump}

```

it’s always false!

If nothing changed meanwhile, that variable isn’t available everywhere.

Here is a plugin to change that:&nbsp;[Using global variables in templates](https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/global-variables-in-templates/)

No, I figured it out…there is another global variable&nbsp;

```
 $userLoggedIn

```

and it works perfectly fine…

I tested it like this:&nbsp;

```
 {$userLoggedIn|@var\_dump}

```

&nbsp;

But now i don’t know what is this variable:&nbsp;

```
 $sUserLoggedIn

```

&nbsp;

notice the “s” in front
