How to get user's role?

Hi all,
 
I want to get what roles/groups that the current user is member of.
I tried to use the following commands but they both returned no rows.
 
SELECT * FROM information_schema.enabled_roles
SELECT * FROM information_schema.applicable_roles
 
Anybody know how to solve this ? or anybody has a certain
function that look up for user's roles/groups ?
 
Thanks in advanced,
 
Armen

What version of PostgreSQL are you using?  Are you sure the current
user belongs to any groups?  What's the output of the following
queries?

SELECT current_user;
SELECT usename, usesysid FROM pg_user WHERE usename = current_user;
SELECT * FROM pg_group;
