Meteor - UserIsInRole always returning false

Question

I Have added allaning:roles in my meteor-react project but Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.userId(), ["ADMIN"]) always returning false. I have roles in my mongo as follows,

{ "_id" : "9B3D757wQA9Mz4RGt", "name" : "BUYER" }
{ "_id" : "PDCJH8D6JDo9fttFj", "name" : "ADMINKAMB" }
{ "_id" : "XFGsrfB3Xsm6F8LbQ", "name" : "SELLER" }
{ "_id" : "hDLSvdo6wMnF47BBz", "name" : "ADMIN" }
{ "_id" : "ADMINKAMB", "children" : [ ] }

Can you please add some more information? Which version of `alanning:roles` is listed under `.meteor/versions` and where do you add the admin role to the user, where do you access it? — Jankapunkt, May 19 '20 at 05:09
A couple more things to ask: Did you add the "admin" role to the user? If you are running it on the client, did you subscribe to the roles? — James, May 19 '20 at 13:08
I have tried for all roles as mentioned in my edit all of them returning false — Tushar Kale, May 26 '20 at 10:22
Hello @Jankapunkt , I am using alanning:roles@3.2.2 on my meteor 1.10.2, I have added roles at server side and trying to acces it from both client and server. — Tushar Kale, May 27 '20 at 11:22
Maybe the subscriptions are not ready yet, what does `Roles.subscription.ready()` return? — Jankapunkt, May 27 '20 at 11:34
I am checking in meteor methods and browser console @Jankapunkt — Tushar Kale, May 30 '20 at 18:32
@Jankapunkt I entered Roles.userIsInRole(Meteor.userId(), ["ADMIN"]) statement in console of chrome and also on meteor shell — Tushar Kale, Jun 06 '20 at 07:24

if you remove the autopublish from yours packages, try to add this code

For my case, I create a file /imports/startup/server/publications/index.js

Meteor.publish(null, function() {
    if (this.userId) {
        return Meteor.roleAssignment.find({ 'user._id': this.userId });
    }
    return this.ready();
});

Then in server/main.js

import '/imports/startup/server/publications'

Meteor - UserIsInRole always returning false
