Hey all, is there any built in scripting functions that get all possible user roles a user can have? I know there are a couple that exist to get the roles assigned to a currently signed in user, or one that can retrieve the roles of a user provided a username and password.

Check this out: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.user.getRoles](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.user.getRoles)  
You provide the user source and it’ll return the available roles.
