How to access own user id in AutoForm Select2 Meteor?

I am using Select2 AutoForm and I have the following schema:

Schema = {};
Schema.users = new SimpleSchema({
    users: {
        type: [String],
        autoform: {
            type: "select2",
            options: function () {
                return Users.find().map(function (user) {
                    return {label: user.username, value: user._id};
                });
            }
        }
    }
});

Now this works fantastic, but the problem is that the currently logged in username is also listed as an option. I want to remove this particulary option so I tried the following:

Schema = {};
Schema.users = new SimpleSchema({
    users: {
        type: [String],
        autoform: {
            type: "select2",
            options: function () {
                var userId = this.userId;
                return Users.find().map(function (user) {
                    if(user._id != userId) return {label: user.username, value: user._id};
                });
            }
        }
    }
});

However, this.userId is not available. How can I access this variable?

EDIT: I tried to set the options client-side, but this didn't work out:

Template.users.helpers({
    userFormSchema: function () {
        return Schema.users;
    },
    usersOptions: function () {
        return Users.find().map(function (user) {
            if (Meteor.userId() != user._id) return {label: user.username, value: user._id};
        });
    }
});

<template name="users">
    <div class="page-content">
    {{#autoForm schema=userFormSchema id="insertUserForm" type="method" meteormethod="userInsert"}}
        {{> afFieldInput name="users" type="select2" multiple=true options=usersOptions}}
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    {{/autoForm}}
    </div>
</template>

I got the following exceptions:

Solution

The problem was that I was not returning an object inside my cursor.map(). So I returned {} but this was not my desired outcome, because there was now an empty option displaying.

However, this is how I fixed this problem:

Schema = {};
Schema.users = new SimpleSchema({
    users: {
        type: [String],
        autoform: {
            type: "select2",
            options: function () {
                return Users.find({_id: {$ne: Meteor.userId()}}).map(function (user) {
                    return {label: user.username, value: user._id};
                });
            }
        }
    }
});
