If I have activity based on user like if user1 logged in then do this, if user2 logged in then do this or else do this.

I need to use conditional branch to direct the activity but I can't find the user token.

How can I find current logged in user?

While Workflow doesn't have a "Current Logged In User" token (since multiple users can log in at once, how would WF know which user was the right one?), Workflow does have the ability to collect a user name token when a user performs an action.

For example, if you use a Wait for Entry Change activity to pause your workflow until a specific action occurs the activity will produce a token for the user who satisfies the wait condition:

As Devin mentioned, you also have the Initiator token available to give you the username of the user that started the Workflow.

In Workflow, you want %(Initiator) which will give you the user name of the person who did the action that triggered the starting rule.
