I need to insert a script into Admin \> Customize \> CSS/HTML. It has to run only if a user not logged in

I tried Discourse.User.current() but got a deprecation warning:

> Deprecation notice: Import the User class instead of using User (deprecated since Discourse 2.4.0) (removal in Discourse 2.6.0)

Are there other ways to find it out?

You need to specify the type of your script as:  
`<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">`
