11/23/2022, 1:54 PMHey, when I create a role in super tokens managed service. It does not adds that role to the session when I call a url to get user data.
I am using req.session!.getClaimValue(UserRoles.UserRoleClaim) to get the user role.

11/23/2022, 4:00 PMThe setup is something like this:
User signups => Buys a subscription using paypal => Paypal webhooks adds "PemiumUser" role to the user using his id => User refreshes the website and sees that they are a premium user.

11/23/2022, 4:02 PMThe roles are added inside supertoken, but when the user refreshes the website nothing changes and the roles Array is empty, but when he signs out and sign in again, he sees that he is a premium user.

await req.session.fetchAndSetClaim(UserRoles.UserRoleClaim)k

11/23/2022, 4:24 PMOh, before I was doing like this
kumar_ayush
11/23/2022, 4:24 PMconst {
UserRoleClaim,
PermissionClaim,
} = require("supertokens-node/recipe/userroles");
const { SessionContainer } = require("supertokens-node/recipe/session");
const Session = require("supertokens-node/recipe/session");
async function addRolesAndPermissionsToSession(session) {
// we add the user's roles to the user's session
await Session.fetchAndSetClaim(UserRoleClaim);
// we add the permissions of a user to the user's session
await Session.fetchAndSetClaim(PermissionClaim);
}
module.exports = addRolesAndPermissionsToSession;

11/23/2022, 4:26 PMin our docs, we call the fetchAndSetClaim on the session container which is the
req.sessionrp_st
