How to Get Security Roles of Another User in CRM 2013 Using Javascript

Question

Getting current (logged) user security roles from the context is trivial:

Xrm.Page.context.getUserRoles()

But I can't find an answer how to get the roles for another user by Id or Name? (Different from the user who is logged on currently)

Answer 1

You can use odata to get roles assigned to user:

http://<server>/<org>/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/SystemUserRolesSet?$filter=SystemUserId eq guid'<user guid>'

in similar way you possibly want to check for roles assigned to teams that user belongs to
