Check if current_user has a specific role in an expression

By Robert admin, Created 6-MAR-2017, last editted 7-MAR-2017

Hi, I'm trying to set a visibility-condition on a component in a form. I can't use a filter because I've got multiple objects to check on.

I tried to use the include() function;

include?([var:current_user.roles], var:role)

where var:role is a global variable object of role defining the role I need, but this doesn't work. I've also tried

include?([var:current_user.roles.id], var:role)

where var:role was used as a number, equal to the needed role's id.

Examples above use [ ], without these it doesn't work either.

var:current_user.roles.name == "name"

doesn't work either, obviously...

Does anyone know how to do this?
