Check the Roles of a User

As discussed in the Assign Distinct Roles to a User in Directory Manager Clients topic, a user in an identity store can have different security roles assigned to it in different Directory Manager clients. Moreover, a user can also have multiple roles in a client, in which case the highest priority role takes precedence when the user logs into that specific client. See Priority.

Directory Manager enables you to view the highest priority role of a user in a client. This role identifies the access level of that user in the client. Select a client and specify a user. Directory Manager fetches the highest priority role of the user with respect to the client.
