Current User Role

    I’m looking for a way to test for the current user’s role name. I am developing a dynamic menu for different role names.
    <?php if (current_user_can('administrator')) { ?>
    this seems to work well.
    <?php if (current_user_can('specialrole')) { ?>
    I can’t get this to work. Does current_user_can() only work on the default role names and if so is there some other way to test for the current user’s role name?

    PS I do have a ‘specialrole’ role in my role list.

    I did a little more digging and it looks as if you can use this. I was having a conflict with Role Scoper.
