How to get the role id from the role name?

March 26, 20230 Views

I need to retrieve the id of a role by giving it roles name.
For example:

if( current_user_can('editor') ) {
 //here I want to retrieve the id of editor.
}

How can I do that?

Try buildin function get_users. The code should be like that:

$args = array(
    'role' => 'editor'
);
$editors = get_users($args);
foreach ($editors as $user) {
    echo '<li>' . $user->ID . '</li>';
}
