You can get Roles for an user by using getRolesByUser function

You can use it like this

\Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser($user_id);

    Thanks man. It's work for me. Also I use **User::findByUsername($user_name)->getId()** to pass id to **getRolesByUser()** function – b24 Aug 22 '14 at 04:59
  • if you want to get role name as string not array, use this: ` $userRole = array_keys(Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser($user_Id))‌​[0] ` – Shaig Khaligli Oct 12 '17 at 21:45

    If you are using `defaultRoles` it will return those as well regardless of whether there are any rules that would effectively not allow them to take on those roles! – TheStoryCoder Jun 25 '19 at 10:14

You can use:

Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser(Yii::$app->user->getId());

  • but this returns the array of all roles and not the user role. – Awais Mustafa Mar 12 '18 at 07:53
  • @AwaisMustafa I this you should check again, because getRolesByUser(Yii::$app->user->getId()) will return only the roles of that user. – d4v1d Aug 04 '18 at 14:59
  • @AwaisMustafa Is that because you are using `defaultRoles`? If so it seems like the rules are not being applied and hence you will see those default roles regardless.... – TheStoryCoder Jun 25 '19 at 10:16

I use :

if (\Yii::$app->authManager-> getAssignment($role,$rule_id))

for filtering user id and role in rbac, More details on Yii2 Documentation

  • The parameter passed should not be $rule_id but $user_id. Minor small typo according to documentation. Thanks anyway. I have used it in my controller. I have voted you up. – Addi Apr 23 '20 at 11:38

One more example how to get user role:
Yii::$app->getUser()->identity->role;
It works if you have column with name "role" in your user table.

You can use :

 $user =[];
 $userAssigned = Yii::$app->authManager->getAssignments(user_id);
 foreach($userAssigned as $userAssign){
      $user[] = $userAssign->roleName;
 }

If you're using amnah/yii2-user module, you can use this:

Yii::$app->user->identity->role->name

It will give you the current user role name

The good and more visual decision will be setting constants of all roles.

$userID = $user->getId();
array_keys(Yii::$app->authManager->getRolesByUser($userID))[0] == User::ROLE_NAME

You can get role of the user by using createcommand.

    $roleModel = Yii::$app->db
    ->createCommand("Select * from auth_assignment where user_id='889'")
    ->queryOne();

    echo $roleModel['item_name'];

This will you user's role in auth assignment. Now you can check that if user is admin or editor or member.

  • Its much easier to use the methods the framework has to verify a role (accepted answer), than making a query to the database and needing to verify manually – André Mar 12 '18 at 11:29
  • i faced this issue that within the code, i tried alot to get a the role name of the admi nuser but i was successfull with this query so thats why i have shared this so that it may helps any one else – Awais Mustafa Mar 17 '18 at 11:36
  • And what if the roles are stored not in db, but in redis (for example). This is not viable approach at all. – bksi Apr 18 '22 at 11:26
