 In one of RCT projects.

We use "IRole[] roles = iClientProcess.getContributorRoles(member, iProcessArea, monitor);" to roles of member.
The problem is that 
1. Member has only one role in RTC
2. The API return 3 roles


member defined in RTC

In my experience, the API is usually right and it is most likely an issue with the assumption of the user that is causing the difference.

If you add a user to a project/team area and assign them a role, the user actually has two roles already. The "default" or everyone role that anyone has as a member of the area, plus the role that you assign the user.

See https://jazz.net/library/article/291 and https://jazz.net/library/article/292 for more details.

I can't comment on the information above. You can find some code getting role information in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/a-custom-condition-to-make-attributes-required-or-read-only-by-role-version-2/ and in some other posts on that blog. In the Eclipse Client you can right click a project area and select "Create Runtime report" The exported HTML file should also tell you which users have which role in which context, should you be unsure.
