A global object "$BE_USER" is only available in the Frontend as long as you
are logged in into the Backend as ANY user ...

The reason for this is that FE-Editing works properly ...

In you FE application/plugin you shall never use $BE_USER except if you are doing
stuff regarding FE-Editing ...


May you tell what you are trying to do ? Pherhaps you just need a different approach.
If you want to insert the Username of the creating user into a News you would have to
fetch the required BE-USER object ... but for this you do not even need PHP .. you can
do this plain in TypoScript without any requirements to modify tt_news !!!



greets,
Bernhard
