Hi All
I want to get current user security roles with their names. I'm using Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles.getAll() but unable to get roles and names.
I am not using Model Driven app (Unified Interface). I want to get user roles and names without HTTP Request. Can anyone help me please
This article suggests you may have one too many var stuff = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles;

Hi Partner,
You need to loop through the returned collection.

var roles = Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles; roles.forEach(function (item) { console.log(item.name); });
I'm not sure whether Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles has been deprecated in legacy web client, you may still need to add an extra HTTP request if the API doesn't work in old UI, because the old API to retrieve security roles only returns collection of GUID.

I'm getting an error "undefined" on roles
but when i get roles through Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.securityroles; I am getting only guid not names
If you can only get GUID and Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles doesn't work, you may still need an extra HTTP request.
Here is sample of combination of Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.securityroles and HTTP request:
