Hi Louis

There is a userService, which you can use. It has a method called getCurrentUser()...

So inject the userService into your controller and then call it like this

var getCurrentUser = userService.getCurrentUser().then(function(userObj){
    var user = userObj;
    $scope.currentUser = user.id;
});

I Can't remember if this actually returns the user role but if it's only the root admin account you need to check for then you can use id as shown in the example and check whether the user id is 0 or not.

Hope this helps a bit.
