Function
Returns the role of the specified user.
Usage
Parameters

Return Values
(string) If no $user_id is specified in the function call the function will return the role of the currently logged in user, otherwise the role of the specified user will be returned.
Examples
$role = get_user_role("admin");
This will return "administrator".
