Get Parse _User's objectId in beforeSave function in Parse Cloud Code

Question

Scenario is when new users add or signup an object of that user must be created in 'userPrivileges' class with some default values,

I am using below code for that

Parse.Cloud.beforeSave(Parse.User, function(request, response)
{
  if(request.object.isNew())
  {
    var userPrivilege = Parse.Object.extend("userPrivileges");
    var userPriv = new userPrivilege();
    userPriv.set("userType","Normal");
    userPriv.set("userID",request.object.id);
    userPriv.set("submitQus",true);
    userPriv.save();
    response.success();
  }
  else
  {
    response.success();
  }
});

The issue is object added to userPrivileges but doest not get User's objectId which I am assigning to 'userPrivileges' userID.. where I am wrong?

It is not possible to get objectID in beforeSave hook if the object isNew() because the object is not in the database yet, ergo doesn't have an id. You should use afterSave hook and existed() instead.
