IMO, getRoles() should return all the roles assigned to this object
independent of from where and how they are referenced.
so user.getRoles() should collect roles from groups/subgroups and
this user.
I cannot think of a usecase where I only want to see the roles
"directly" assigned to the user.
No there different usecases. In one you need to now the exact
assigned roles (implementing a user edit dialog for example). Perhaps
the security system will use this method to resolve acls (in case you
don't use the magnolia one). Otherwise you will always have to read
the nodes yourself.

Based on that I display some edit bars (or not)....
I get a user roles from MgnlContext.getUser().getRoles()...
everything worked great until I realized that instead of
assigning 5 roles to each member of the web team
I could create a group, assign those 5 roles to a group and then
assign team members (users) to group...
But then user.getRoles() returns nothing :)
Am I correct to assume I have to check user groups and then grab
roles from each group?
If that is the case then ok but shouldn't user.getRoles() already
do that? Or is my logic flawed?
I think an additional getAllRoles() or similar should do the job.
Feel free to add that feature request to jira.
