# 30.17. `enabled_roles`

The view `enabled_roles` identifies all groups that the current user is a member of. (A role is the same thing as a group.) The difference between this view and `applicable_roles` is that in the future there may be a mechanism to enable and disable groups during a session. In that case this view identifies those groups that are currently enabled.
