In the case of using express-session (if store is default value: MemoryStore) you can get store object and sessions array from req object:

var sessions = req.sessionStore.sessions

For example (for me) it looks like that:

{
    KT29eOp9XkzFfXWdz_UVUQMI4Qf3VTxE: 
        '{"cookie":{"originalMaxAge":null,"expires":null,"httpOnly":true,"path":"/"},
        "passport":{"user":"5a95b34b52670e19200ec48e"}}',
    WW7BAhNNBbuFUsKQ0dbalgToEEfGES8p: 
        '{"cookie":{"originalMaxAge":null,"expires":null,"httpOnly":true,"path":"/"},
        "passport":{"user":"5a9d56a18149111cf0556991"}}' 
}             

user values in passport props are _id of your users in MongoDB User collection.
