Show all roles a user has via API

[renobird]

Hello all,

A bit dense today, so hopefully someone can help me.

I'm trying to show a list of all the roles a user has using the API.

$users = $pages->find("parent=/processwire/access/users/");
foreach ($users as $user) {
echo $user->name . " - " . $user->roles . "<br />";
}

$user->roles returns a page array, so I get something like 1015|2263|2273

What I need is the name of the role instead of the page ID.

Duh! $user-roles is an array, need to use foreach to return the name.

Sorry, told you I was being dense today.

As you were.

Also want to mention that you don't need to do the $pages->find(); because ProcessWire already provides you with a $users API variable. The $users API variable is like a special $pages API variable that only acts on users. Though unlike the $pages API variable, you can foreach($users).

Thanks Ryan,

Not sure what I was thinking this morning — thinking too much about the iPhone 5 I guess.
