for Admin user it works, but I got this error for not Admin user:
Caused by: org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.AccessDeniedException: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.

why?

Isn't it obvious? Because you do not have permission to execute that method. Run the invocation of that method as admin user


AuthenticationUtil.runAs(new AuthenticationUtil.RunAsWork<Set<String>>() {
   public Set<String> doWork() throws Exception {
      return serviceRegistry.getAuthorityService().getAuthoritiesForUser("someUser");
   }
}, "admin");

Kind regards,
