Programmatic access to PCD roles

Dear all,

we would like to develop a portal component able to inspect and analyze different PCD elements such as iViews, Pages, Layouts and Roles. The respective APIs seem to exist for all of these elements except PCD Roles (see SAP Library - Working with Users, Groups and Roles. Do you know a way to access and parse the content of roles stored in the PCD?

Thank you for your help and best regards,

Markus Müller
