MoisesZV

a bit rough and untested but should work

`rosters = system.alarm.getRosters()
member = system.user.getUser
roster=""
user=""
for key, name in rosters.iteritems():
	if name == member:
		roster=key
		user=member
print roster,user`

I tryed this:

```auto
rosters = system.alarm.getRosters()
member = "moises"
roster=""
user=""
for key, name in rosters.iteritems():
   if name == member:
      roster=key
      user=member
print roster,user

```

The user moises is inside a call roster but when I press a button with this code, in the console just a blank line is added.

EDIT:

I also tryed this:

```auto
rosters = system.alarm.getRosters()
member = "moises"
for key, name in rosters.iteritems():
	if name == member:
		print "hola"

```

Nothing happen in the console, it seems is not doing the comparission name == member

```auto
rosters = system.alarm.getRosters()
member = "moises"
for key, values in rosters.iteritems():
	for value in values:
		if value == member:
			roster=key
		   	print roster
```

Time to learn a bit about debugging. 😃

In the loop, try printing out the key, name pairs you get. You’ll see how to fix the issue.

Ah…  
I think “name” is a reserved word and should not be used 😊
