Hi all, i am using “@auth0/auth0-vue”: “^1.0.1”, and I am looking for a good way to get get the user roles. In my vue2 project I used the auth0-spa-js and I added this function to a wrapper

> isUserRole (role) {  
> const user = this.$auth.user  
> const roles = user ? user[‘[http://domain.com/roles](http://domain.com/roles)’] :   
> if (user && roles) {  
> return role === roles[0]  
> }  
> return false  
> }

then I would call it like this as a computed property

```auto
    isAdmin() {
      return this.$auth.isUserRole("Admin");
    },

```

Is there a similar way to do this with the new auth0-vue sdk?

Hi there @roman2 welcome to the community!

I am not aware of a way to accomplish this via the SDK, but typically we recommend that roles are added to and read from the user’s ID/Access Token instead - Some more on adding roles as custom claims in tokens here:

> **[Sample Use Cases: Actions with Authorization](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/access-control/sample-use-cases-actions-with-authorization?#add-user-roles-to-tokens)**

Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks I will just read the roles from the users token.
