Query for a User's Roles
Some folks have asked about doing a query of a given user's roles. While this is not yet in the UI it is pretty easy to do via script. Here's a sample, if you're integrating AzMan interfaces into your custom UI this logic could be used to implement a user role query across a store.

Dim AzManStoreURL : AzManStoreURL = objArgs(0)
Dim UserName: UserName = objArgs(1)

It is very useful to get a list of Roles a client has for a given scope/application. However, it would be just as useful to get a list of scopes a user has been assigned a role to and a list of applications a user has been assigned to through clientcontext. Is this possible? Maybe in the future? I know one could write some nested loops to achieve this, but it would be nice to see this in the API and I'm not sure looping is a good idea if there are thousands of scopes. - Anonymous

For some reason I'm not getting notifications when you guys post. I'll look into that...To answer your question, yes you can get a list of scopes. Call the GetAssignedScopesPage method. In fact the above code uses this method.Getting the assigned applicaitons requries an addtioanl step which is to iterate on each app and call GetAssignedScopesPage and if it returns anything then that app has assignments for the user. The for loop in the above code demos this (just comment out the stuff about getting roles.)-HTHDave - Anonymous
