userRole

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().
