Hello I have a question about user source.

I would like to know if when we use AD user source we can also see the users names and their respective roles on the gateway web page

IIRC, the user list filter, if configured, lets a gateway admin list user names. ~~I don't think it retrieves roles. Those would only be available when the user actually logs in.~~

(This type of user source is expected to be managed in the domain, not in Ignition.)

User roles will be available to you with AD authentication.  
After you set up your AD user source click manage users and you will see a list of users and their roles.
