Hi, We have a requirement wherein users with certain roles shouldn’t be allowed to edit rich text editor content and we are thinking of using [Class Editor (CKEDITOR.editor) - CKEditor 4 API docs](https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/api/CKEDITOR_editor.html#method-setReadOnly) to change the editor into read-only mode for these users. Now, we need a way to get the current logged-in CMS user roles - are there any OOTB REST endpoint available to get user details ? Alternatively, are there any OOTB client-side libraries which could provide this ? Thank you! Cheers, Selva ---

AFAIK there is no such endpoint. What you might try is [overriding](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/concepts/document-types/html-fields/ckeditor-plugins.html#ckeditor-plugin-that-opens-a-wicket-dialog) the CKEditorNodePlugin. In the part about adding a panel it mentions this. You don’t want to add a panel, but adjust the behavior of ckeditor. I haven’t tried any of this, but it is a place to start.
