How to read ID Token using MSAL

I successfully acquire an ID Token along with an Access Token from Azure AD using MSAL.js in my Angular application.

The ID Token does contain information about the signed-in user. This would include roles and groups. However I do not understand how to read these values from the token stored in local storage. Does MSAL provide utilities to do so ?

Nowadays, if you want the raw ID Token, you can use

this.authService.getAccount().idToken

For example, this could give you the following string

This may be useful if you want to verify the signature.

In the more recent versions of the code it looks like there is a getAccount() function. 

 this.authService.getAccount()
