I would like to know how to get the current user that is logged in via the active admin GUI?

Homepage: http://www.activeadmin.info/

Thanks in advance

MODEL

admin_user.rb

class AdminUser < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :token_authenticatable, :confirmable,
  # :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, 
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  # Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :id  , :admin_permission
  # attr_accessible :title, :body
  has_one :admin_permission
  validates_uniqueness_of :email

  def self.current_logged_user
    # ?
  end
end

UPDATE

When I try to use the method 'current_user' in dashboard.rb or any active admin related file, apparently it is not implemented.

OUTPUT

undefined local variable or method `current_user' for

The active admin user is called AdminUser by default. The corresponding devise helper method is therefore current_admin_user.
