role to be assigned

Not really sure what your problem is. Perhaps either the userId or roleId is incorrect?

I created a test site. After running the site Live, I look in site Dashboard and see that the user (me for purposes of testing) has been added to the role.

The frontend code:

export function button1_click(event) {
 let userId = wixUsers.currentUser.id;
 let roleId = < the id for the role >;

    assignRole(roleId, userId).then(() => {
            console.log('done');
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.log(error);
        });
}

I used a button to prevent the code from running twice in the onReady() - once server side, and then in the browser.

The backend code:

import {roles} from 'wix-users-backend';

export function assignRole(roleId, memberId) {
  return roles.assignRole(roleId, memberId, { suppressAuth: true })
    .then( () => {
      console.log("Role assigned to member");
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    });
}

The code is pretty much the same as yours. I ran my test site, clicked the button, got the message “Role assigned to member”, and then saw in the site Dashboard that the role was assigned.
