## Overview

The `Role` method on a `Site` object returns the `Role` object for the given site, derived from the role definition in your project configuration.

## Methods

Use these methods on the `Role` object.

`IsDefault`
: (`bool`) Reports whether this is the [default role](g).

  ```go-html-template
  {{ .Site.Role.IsDefault }} → true
  ```

`Name`
: (`string`) Returns the role name. This is the lowercased key from your project configuration.

  ```go-html-template
