Adding body classes to admin theme according to user role

[Robin S]

This is something I used in a couple of modules recently and it could be useful as a standalone hook. It adds classes to the body tag in the admin theme for:

• roles the user has
• if the user is a non-superuser
• the user's name

You could use this if you want to tweak the admin interface for a role using CSS/JS (e.g. with Admin Custom Files).

There is also an old wishlist item requesting this.

$this->addHookAfter('AdminTheme::getExtraMarkup', function($event) {
    $theme = $event->object;
    $user = $this->user;
    foreach($user->roles as $role) {
        $theme->addBodyClass("role-{$role->name}");
    }
    if(!$user->isSuperuser()) $theme->addBodyClass("role-nonsuperuser");
    $theme->addBodyClass("user-{$user->name}");
});

Would you mind if I add this to AdminOnSteroids? (probably won't be configurable)
