# rolesAvailable

### user.rolesAvailable

Type: **Array**

Returns a JavaScript array of all possible security roles regardless of whether or not the user belongs to them.

### Examples

```
// display all roles supported by the runtime
for (var i in user.rolesAvailable) {
    debug.log(user.rolesAvailable[i]);
}
```

### Remarks

          Definition

          

A **role** is a security term that refers to a type of user and the set of permissions they have.

IT administrators assign **roles** to **users** (according to their job specifications) when the user's account is first set up or when management requests changes. These roles often dictate which product features a user can access.

For example, a Dr. Know user could be a **technician** using your app to collect certain data elements during patient testing. Later, a **physician** might use your app to review this information and complete a report. Each user would belong to a distinct role. Users can also belong to more than one role.

You can use this information within your scripts to deliver role-specific features and user experience enhancements.
