I need to somehow check someones role with only their id. I have found the current_user_can()check. But this only works for people that are logged in. How would I check for this if that user isn't the current user? I am using a phone order system but that uses the the admin/specific acount to order for other people.

Thank you

    You can't get user role directly. First, you have to get the user_meta_data, and it will return an Object that will contain user roles.

    Code:

    $user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);

$user_roles=$user_meta->roles; //array of roles the user is part of.
