Symptoms

g_user.hasRole is returning false if users have external roles. If user has roles like snc_external or sn_customerservice.customer combined with any other internal role like 'itil' g_user.hasRole for itil will return even though user has this role.

Cause

Resolution

This behavior is expected. snc_external or sn_customerservice.customer is a special role which is used to indicate a user is an external user. getRole() for an external user always return false since by definition an external user has no role on an instance.
