Meanwhile, you can simply populate the role for users-permissions users.

This both works:

/api/users/:id?populate=role and /api/users/me?populate=role

You need to grant your user's role the following permission though: Admin panel -> settings -> users & permissions -> Roles -> your user's role -> users-permissions -> role -> find (note: findOne will not work !)

Finally, there is no solution because populate doesn't work for user-permission. But I found an alternative solution in this post :

I had the same problem with my project.

The first solution : there is actually an endpoint "api/users/me" you can see more here: https://forum.strapi.io/t/is-it-possible-to-know-user-role-on-authentication/14221 it will return something like this:

"role": {
    "id": "string",
    "name": "string",
    "description": "string",
    "type": "string",
    "permissions": [
      "string"
    ],
    "users": [
      "string"
    ],
    "created_by": "string",
    "updated_by": "string"
  }

the header of the request has to contain:

"Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`

the final code would look like this:

const userData = async() => {
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:1337/api/users/me', 
headers: {
    authorization: `Bearer ${JsonWebToken}`,
  })
const res = await response.json()
console.log(res)

}

Second solution another solution is using GraphQL

Const endPoint = "http://localhost:1337/graphql"

you have to install graphql though.

And by letting the token access the me data in setting > role > user-permission >user>me

your will get the response.

my code looks like this I am using react , graphql-request

import { GraphQLClient, gql } from "graphql-request"
const graphQLClient = new GraphQLClient(endPoint, {
    headers: {
      authorization: `Bearer ${WebToken}`,
    },
  })
  const query = gql`
    {
      me {
        role {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  `

 const data = await graphQLClient.request(query)
console.log(JSON.stringify(data))

the result is

{"me":{"role":{"name":"client"}}}
