User Roles at front end

[a4amitava]

Hi, Did not find on how to get corresponding user roles in front end.
Pls help to give some direction . I am able to get the token in my angular front end . So the authentication is fine. How about the roles to read ? If the token also has the role information then which api or helper can help to read the roles from token in the angular app.

Pls help .

Hi!

At first you have to add the roles information as a claim attribute in the token at the server side. You can do that in the method org.zerhusen.security.JwtTokenUtil.generateToken().

Then you can decode the token and get the claim information (which then contains your roles information) in your Angular client. I'm using the library "jwt_decode" to do that. You can find the neccessary packages under

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/jwt-decode
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/jwt-decode

Does that help you?
