Retrieving user's roles or claims in Windows 8

One of the requirements for the 70-484 exam (Windows 8 apps) is to retrieve user's roles or claims - what is the correct way to do that given the absence of WindowsIdentity and WindowsPrincipal classes in the .NET Metro profile (there are only IIdentity and IPrincipal interfaces available for a Windows 8 application but no classes implementing them)?

For claims/roles: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.identitymodel.claims.claimsidentity.claims.aspx

Credentials: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/windows.security.credentials.passwordvault.aspx

and if you need to authenticate the user: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.security.credentials.ui.credentialpicker.aspx
