Retrieving Available User Roles¶
Description¶
This operation returns a list of the roles associated with the user account currently logged in to the Backendless application. If the request is sent without logging in, the system will return only one role - NotAuthenticatedUser.
Method¶
Future<List<String>> Backendless.userService.getUserRoles();
Return Value¶
Returns an array of roles assigned to the currently logged in user
[
"roleName 1",
"roleName 2"
...
"roleName N"
]
Example¶
The example below logs in as "alice@wonderland.com", and retrieves the current user roles as an array containing string values.
Before retrieving the user roles, log in as described in the Login section. Then, retrieve the user roles as follows:
//login user
Backendless.userService.login("alice@yourmail.com", "wonderland").then((backendlessUser) {
// user has been logged in. Get user roles.
Backendless.userService.getUserRoles().then((userRoles) {
//here we get all user roles - "userRoles".
});
});
Codeless Reference¶
