WP_Roles::get_role() WordPress Method

The WP_Roles::get_role() method is used to get a role object by its name. This method is part of the WP_Roles class, which manages the roles and capabilities of users on a WordPress site. The get_role() method allows you to get a role object by its name. This role object can then be used to check if a user has the required capabilities for that role. The get_role() method takes one parameter, which is the name of the role you want to get. This name should be a string. If the role you are trying to get does not exist, then the get_role() method will return false.
