# Method name: getRoles()

# Method package: wixMembersBackend

# Method menu location: wixMembersBackend --> CurrentMember --> getRoles

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-members-backend/current-member/get-roles.md

# Method Description:

Retrieves the member's roles.

The `getRoles()` function returns a Promise that resolves to the
[roles](https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-member-roles-6943237)
of the currently logged-in member.
If no member is currently logged in, the Promise is rejected.

> **Note:** The APIs in `CurrentMember` are only partially functional when previewing your site. View a published version of your site to see their complete functionality.

The following results are returned depending on the session identity:

| Site owner or contributor with admin permissions | Array of member roles, plus an additional role where `name` is `Admin` |
| Anyone else                                      | Promise is rejected                                                    |
