CURRENT_AVAILABLE_ROLES

Returns a string (VARCHAR) that lists all roles granted to the current user.

The returned string contains a JSON-encoded list of all roles that the user can specify in a USE ROLE statement. This includes all roles that are directly granted to the user plus all lower-privileged roles in the hierarchy of the roles granted to the user directly. The returned value can be passed to the PARSE_JSON function to get a VARIANT that contains a list of all the available roles.

Syntax

CURRENT_AVAILABLE_ROLES()

Examples

Return the list of roles granted to the current user:

SELECT CURRENT_AVAILABLE_ROLES();

+----------------------------------------------------------+
| ROW | CURRENT_AVAILABLE_ROLES()                          |
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+
|  1  | [ "PUBLIC", "ANALYST", "DATA_ADMIN", "DATA_USER" ] |
+-----+----------------------------------------------------+

Use the PARSE_JSON function to return a VARIANT and the FLATTEN function to obtain a single row for each role:

SELECT INDEX,VALUE,THIS FROM TABLE(FLATTEN(input => PARSE_JSON(CURRENT_AVAILABLE_ROLES())));

+-----+-------+------------------------+---------------------------+
| ROW | INDEX | VALUE                  | THIS                      |
+-----+-------+------------------------+---------------------------+
|   1 |     0 | "PUBLIC"               | [                         |
|     |       |                        |   "PUBLIC",               |
|     |       |                        |   "ANALYST",              |
