How to get record owner's security role with JavaScript?

Hello,

The current user's can be retrieved easily, but how can I get the record owner (also a CRM user) role with JS code?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use the following code to get the security roles of the record owner.

Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords("systemuser", "?$filter=fullname eq '<CRM User Name>'&$select=fullname&$expand=systemuserroles_association($select=name)").then(
function success(result) {
var securityRoles = result.entities[0].systemuserroles_association;
for (var i = 0; i < securityRoles.length; i++) {
console.log(securityRoles[i].name);
}

},
function (error) {
console.log(error.message);
}
);

In my testing, I was the System Administrator, and the owner of the records was me.
The security roles I get using the code provided above are the same as the officially provided API: Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().userSettings.roles.
