Failed: unknown error: browser is not defined after browser.executeScript() in protractor

I have the method where I log in using api from browser console.

    this.logInViaAPI = function (user) {
    browser.executeScript(function (user) {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open("POST", '/api/v1/....', true);
        xhr.setRequestHeader('token', browser.params.tokens.token);
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        xhr.send('{"email": "' + user.login + '", "password": "' + user.apipassword + '"}');
    });
};

and use it in tests 

   beforeAll(function () {
    browser.get("");
});


it("test", function (){
    helpers.logInViaAPI(browser.params.regularUser);
    browser.refresh();
});

and I get next error. May be I should do some another things but I have no ideas.

The script you are executing via executeScript would not have a browser in its scope. You need to parameterize your script via arguments:

var token = browser.params.tokens.token;
browser.executeScript(function (arguments) {
    var token = arguments[0];
    ...
    xhr.setRequestHeader('token', token);
}, token);
