Hello Raghav,
"trans" is the object defined by the UniverseWebTransaction class in ~/lib/galaxy/__init__.py, and is available in any of the mako templates and controller methods, and many other methods as well.
In the future, please send questions like this to the galaxy- dev@bx.psu.edu mail list.
Thanks very much,

Hi Greg I have a very basic question but somehow I could not figure it out. I am trying to get the details of current logged in user. I can get the workflows made by the user by mapping it from galaxy_user and storedworkflow table from universe.sqlite database. But I am having problem fetching the current logged in user.
Now I saw the python scripts and almost every file calls the function trans.get_user(). I could not figure out where the function is defined. Please help me getting the id of the current logged in user.
