Displaying which Role the current user is assigned to
As you suggested, here’s how you can display the roles next to the username in the admin bar: function wpse_203917_admin_bar_menu( $wp_admin_bar ) { if ( ! $node = $wp_admin_bar->get_node( ‘my-account’ ) ) return; $roles = wp_get_current_user()->roles; $node->title .= sprintf( ‘ (%s)’, implode( ‘, ‘, $roles ) ); $wp_admin_bar->add_node( $node ); } add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘wpse_203917_admin_bar_menu’ );
