I was wondering if there is a way to get any information about the user thats currently using my app/workflow so i could work with this in my application without asking him anything?

If you are using the user management of MobileTogether Server, then you can retrieve user name and user roles via variables:
$MT_UserName
$MT_UserRoles

Hello,
i have the problem that "$MT_UserName" is working without an issue, however "$MT_UserRoles" is empty even though several roles a given to the user. Do I miss something?

We will need your MT Server database and the app to see why it is empty. Please contact Altova Support if you don't want to expose them here

I already found the issue, but i dont know a solution for it:
"$MT_UserRoles" only works if my project has the "server access" property set to "always". However, I want to use the application mainly offline. Is there a way to load this kind of information when a button is clicked or something like that?

What about saving its status on very first access in a persistent tree?

What do you think would be the best way to get multiple (not all) User roles into a xml-file?
The idea is to define some roles with the same beginning word and put them all into a list from where to user has to choose which one he will use.
My problem is that atm i can only save all roles in one attribute, but not one by one in elements.
Edit: Is there any way to force a connection to the server, so i could actually loop over "MT_UserRoles"?

You can do it like that: Code:
Append to Node
$PERSISTENT/Root
new Node(s)
for $r in $MT_UserRoles
where starts-with( $r, 'Role' )
return element UserRole { $r }
with this loop you are going through user roles and adding for those starting with the name 'Role' elements to the PERSISTENT tree. You will get as many such child UserRole elements under the Root as there are such roles. To enforce doing something on server, simply use command So you could put the Append to Node command from above into Execute On Server - that's it

When I use your code on an empty solution, just with an button and a label field, I doesnt work. So I didnt copied the "where..." line of course, but the rest is all the same. The solution is in the attached files, so you can have a look if I did something wrong.

Because you added an attribute UserRole under $PERSISTENT/Root. But my code adds elements UserRole. Because an XML node can have only one attribute with the same name and deliberate amount of elements

Yes, I see my mistake. Thank you. Now it works fine for me. However, i want motify your statement above, so the Roles that would get saved have the attributes 'key' and 'value', each one filled with one part of the role. Code:
for $r in $MT_UserRoles
where starts-with($r, 'Role')
return element UserRole {
attribute Key { substring(string(.), 9, 13) },
attribute Value { substring(string(.), 13) }
}
This doesnt get me any UserRole-elements back.

$r contains the name of the role. Therefore a correct statement would be: Code:
for $r in $MT_UserRoles
where starts-with($r, 'Role')
return element UserRole {
attribute Key { substring($r, 9, 13) },
attribute Value { substring($r, 13) }
}
