[daisy] How to access the results of User.getAllRoles() from JavaScript

[Karel Vervaeke]

This should print out all the roles assigned to a user:

var roles = user.allRoles.array;
for (var i=0; i<roles.length; i++) {
  println (roles[i].name + "--" + roles[i].description);
}

There is little point to add one of these roles to the user because he
already has all of them:

user.addToRole(roles[0]); // <-- pointless 

However:

anotherUser = userManager.getUser(5, true);
anotherUser.addToRole(roles[0]); // <-- might be useful

To get a complete list of all the roles you need:

userManager.roles;  (which returns something with the same type as
user.allRoles)

The Daisy API is hosted here:

(You might want to use it to figure out what user.allRoles is returning
and what you can do with it)

I hope this answers your questions,
Karel
