Answer 1

A simpler option could be to test the role since you have to define them in security.yml :

{% if is_granted('ROLE_ADMIN') %}
    Administrator
{% elseif is_granted('ROLE_USER') %}
    User
{% else %}
    Anonymous
{% endif %}

Answer 2

You can write a Twig extension to accomplish this.

Create a twig extension and register it as a service.

1. in services.yml add

   services:
     cms.twig.cms_extension:
       class: Path\To\RolesTwigExtension.php
       tags:
         - { name: twig.extension }
       arguments: ["@service_container"]
   

2. In RolesTwigExtension.php

   use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface;
   
   class RolesTwigExtension extends \Twig_Extension {
       public function getFilters() {
           return array(
               new \Twig_SimpleFilter('getRoles', [$this, 'getRoles']),
           );
       }
   
       public function getName() {
           return 'roles_filter_twig_extension';
       }
   
       public function getRoles(UserInterface $user) {
           return $user->getRoles();
       }
   }
   

3. In your twig file:

   <ul>
       {% for key, value in app.user|getRoles %}
           <li>{{ value.name }}</li>
       {% endfor %}
   </ul>
   

Answer 3

Silex:

{{ dump(app.user.roles) }}
array(1) { [0]=> string(9) "ROLE_USER" }


{% if app.user is not null %}
  {% for role in app.user.roles if role != 'ROLE_ADMIN' %}
      {{ role }} //ROLE_USER
  {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Answer 4

You can access the whole security token using app.security.token. Also roles is an attribute of token.

{{ dump(app.security.token.roles) }}

Answer 5

you can scan your collection roles of User:

{% for role in app.user.roles %}
{{ role }} <br> 
{% endfor %}
