The roles are not properties of a person node which is why you are getting null back.

The AuthorityService is where you get the authorities for the current user.

For Alfresco 3.1 (or higher) to get the user's role for a given WCM web project, please refer to:

http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/wcm/webproject/WebProjectService.html#getWebUserRole%28java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String%29

Please refer to the Alfresco Explorer ("web-client" project) for example usage. Note: the given web project can be passed in either as the DM-based web project nodeRef or the AVM-based store name.

Jan
