How do I check in C# what the current users role is, and print it to the screen.
Thanks!

First off, we check that the user is actually logged in. If they're not logged in, they won't have a role assigned. If the user is logged in, we use wp_get_current_user to return the WP_User object. This provides us with a stack of information about the data and we can access their user role(s) via $user->roles .
In system variable, you can use [%CurrentUser%] system variable. In case of module roles, you can create one entity for user roles, you can retrieve data from those user roles in the microflow . In retrieve activity, select retrieve by database, you can set xPath to identify the user role.
There's also a function wp_dropdown_roles() which gives you the roles as option html elements. You can also set the default selected value by passing the role slug as a parameter. Show activity on this post. you would like to display a select list of available WordPress role names.
WordPress user roles are stored in the wp_options table.
The most general method is to get an IPrinciple and then call IsInRole() on it. How you get the Principle denpends on your runtime environment. This example works well for apps running under the user's account.
Example:
static void PrintIsInAdministrators()
{
// There are many ways to get a principle... this is one.
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal principle = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal;
bool isInRole = principle.IsInRole("MyDomain\\MyRole");
Console.WriteLine("I {0} an Admin", isInRole ? "am" : "am not");
}
