Scoped app: get user roles

[aklimenko]

Hi

How can I get a list of user roles from scoped app script?

Scoped GlideUser and GlideSession do not have getRoles() unlike non-scoped versions

Thank you

If this is server-side, you can query the sys_user_has_role table to retrieve a list of roles for the user. I've built a custom app in fuji recently but didn't have a need for that particular function but that should be one way to do it. If it is client side, you could do an ajax call. I had issues using .isMemberOf() so I had to manually query the sys_user_grmember table to find group membership.

Hi Oleksil,

Here is the script to print the role name for the current logged in user.

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user_has_role');
gr.addQuery('user.user_name', gs.getUserDisplayName());
gr.query();
while(gr.next())
{
gs.addInfoMessage(gr.role.name); //prints the role name
}
