Hello everyone,
I wanted to know if it was possible to get the roles of a user via the webservice. I haven’t found any endpoints to do that, and the only answers told me to go through the database, but I don’t have access to it.
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you and have a nice day !
Get roles Webservice API

Hi Venel,
in my opinion there is no such webservice. What do you want to achieve? Maybe there is another way to do that.
Best regards

Re: Get roles Webservice API
I work with some schools that own a Moodle. I can retrieve school users and integrate them directly into my platform through a middleware. I also need the roles of the users but the Moodle api does not allow to get roles.
I don’t know if there’s any other way to do that.
Thanks again for your time.

Re: Get roles Webservice API
Hi Venel,
I am sorry, but you still keep saying the same things like in the german forum. As I said, there is no webservice to get the roles of a user. But if you'd tell us what do you want to do, maybe there is an alternative way to achieve your goal.
If you want to get all users from course for example you maybe can use the webservice function: "core_enrol_get_enrolled_users_with_capability". By naming the capability you could differ between students and teachers.
The problem with roles is that they can be changed without to inform the external system. Capabilities for example always are the same.
Best regards
Andreas
