for the life of me..

Running On browser, I want to get userId `session.props.auth.user.id`.  
For the life of me.. it always returns null

Is there a security of some kind blocking this access?

Docs suggest it would be null if the user is not authenticated:

> The IdP's unique identifier for this user. Null if the user is not authenticated.

Is that the case?
