MongoError: cannot use the part (roles of roles.__global_roles__) to traverse the element #80

Closed jimmiebtlr closed 9 years ago

The user in question has roles that are not part of a group. I am trying to add a role which is part of 

Roles.GLOBAL_GROUP

and I get the following error 

MongoError: cannot use the part (roles of roles.__global_roles__) to traverse the element

Any insight into it's meaning would be great, thanks. Not really sure where to start on this.

I would guess that it has to do with the structure of the roles field on the user object.

The choice to use groups should be a global one; either all users should use groups or none of your users should use them. To convert from no-groups to groups, you would manually change the structure to match what the roles package expects as shown here: https://github.com/alanning/meteor-roles#changes-to-default-meteor-behavior

Here's a small script that I used when we did the conversion for our startup: https://gist.github.com/alanning/0686f29c71b8cab54cc7

Any issues, let me know.

That was indeed the issue, thanks a ton.
