func getUserRoles(responseHandler: (([String]) -> Void)!, errorHandler: ((Fault) -> Void)!)

  "roleName 2"  
  ...

[Backendless.shared.userService loginWithIdentity:@"alice@yourmail.com" password:@"wonderland" responseHandler:^(BackendlessUser *loggedInUser) {
    [Backendless.shared.userService getUserRolesWithResponseHandler:^(NSArray<NSString *> *roles) {
        for (NSString *role in roles) {
            NSLog(@"role: %@", role);
        }
    } errorHandler:^(Fault *fault) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", fault.message);
    }];
} errorHandler:^(Fault *fault) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", fault.message);
}];
Backendless.shared.userService.login(identity: "alice@yourmail.com", password: "wonderland", responseHandler: { loggedInUser in
    Backendless.shared.userService.getUserRoles(responseHandler: { roles in
        for role in roles {
            print("role: \(role)")
        }
    }, errorHandler: { fault in
        print("Error: \(fault.message ?? "")")
