This plugin doesn't do anything on the surface but if you call the get_user_role() function then you can achieve one of two results.
Function
Returns the role of the specified user.
Usage
Parameters
$user_id (string)(optional) 'username'
Return Values
(string) If no $user_id is specified in the function call the function will return the role of the currently logged in user, otherwise the role of the specified user will be returned.
Examples
$role = get_user_role("admin");
This will return "administrator".
Notes
This plugin may call the following global variables:
$current_user $wp_roles $wpdb
This plugin is designed to work with any correctly made custom roles.
