To return the role of the current or a given user
This function finds out for you, which role a user has been assigned. By default Ninox has 2 roles in stock:
  • admin
  • editor
But you can create new roles on your own and assign them to the collaborators in your workspace.
If you want to check all roles, which are assigned to a user, use userRoles().
