' Roles(UserName$) :
' It checks for roles of UserName$ (could be both abbreviate or hierarchical) in current database
' If no exact ACL found it checks all group recursively
' If UserName$ is member of two or more groups it returns the roles of all of them
' If nothing found, it returns "-Default-" roles
' It doesn't check duplicate roles (but this is not a problem)
' Return value: array of roles (strings)
'
' IsaMemberOf(UserName$, GroupName$) :
' Check if UserName$ is a member of GroupName$
' It searchs group recursively
' It searchs first public address book
' Return value: boolean
'
' NameSimple$(Name$) :
' Just acts like formula @Name( [Abbreviate] ; Name )
' Return value: string
