Hi, colleagues
During the last days I found that getRoles() is getting not working from the backend. It is worked ok on my site during the last 1.5 years but in these coronadays I observed that something happened and it is getting generate exception. It seems Wix people hiddenly changed a bit an APIs and this functionality is getting not available anymore.
Do anybody knows what would happened and how to fix this?
very small snippet from the backend:

import wixUsers from ‘wix-users-backend’
export function getUserCaps111()
{
let user = wixUsers.currentUser;
return user.getRoles().then((result)=>
{
return (result);
});
}
btw, getRoles() still works from the client side, but this is not what I need because I’ve got a lot of existing code around backend autorization.

Tnx. Alexey

Thanks, Alexey. I’ve sent this to QA to investigate since it’s been reported here a few times.

Hey @granesp I’m not aware of what was a year ago but wix-users-backend do support getRoles() see the example here:
https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-users-backend/currentuser

Regarding your code:
'import wixUsers from ‘wix-users-backend’ isn’t the right syntax, try using:
import wixUsersBackend from ‘wix-users-backend’;
