[XQZone General] Security roles

[Darin McBeath]

Not sure what you are trying to do, but you could try
using  sec:user-get-roles($user as xs:string).  But,
keep in mind that this will not return inherited roles
for a user.  This function will return a list of role
names as a string (and not an unsigned long).

You could also probably use sec:get-role-names($role
as xs:unsignedLong) ... it will return an element of
type sec:role-name. 

Hope this helps.
