Check if user has role - Search Code Guy

Writing A cloud parsing function (which uses the Parse Javascript SDK ), and I am having trouble checking if the current user has the "Admin" role. I am viewing a web view of the Role class and a role with the name "Admin" exists, if I click "View Relations" for users, it shows the current user. I doubt it matters, but "Admin" is the only role, and the current user is the only user with the role. Finally, the Administrator role has a public read ACL, so this should not cause any problems either.

The code is as follows:

...
var queryRole = new Parse.Query(Parse.Role);
queryRole.equalTo('name', 'Admin'); 
queryRole.equalTo("users", Parse.User.current());
queryRole.first({
    success: function(result) { // Role Object
        var role = result;
        role ? authorized = true : console.log('Shiet, user not Admin');
    },
    error: function(error) {
        console.log("Bruh, queryRole error");
    }
})
console.log('After test: Auth = ' + authorized);
if (!authorized) {
    response.error("You ain't no admin, measly user");
    return;    
}
...

This leads to the following in the log:

: Auth = false

: Auth = false

:

var authorized = false;
console.log('Before test: Auth = ' + authorized);

var queryRole = new Parse.Query(Parse.Role);
queryRole.equalTo('name', 'Admin');
queryRole.first({
    success: function(result) { // Role Object
        console.log("Okay, that a start... in success 1 with results: " + result);

        var role = result;
        var adminRelation = new Parse.Relation(role, 'users');
        var queryAdmins = adminRelation.query();

        queryAdmins.equalTo('objectId', Parse.User.current().id);
        queryAdmins.first({
            success: function(result) {    // User Object
                var user = result;
                user ? authorized = true : console.log('Shiet, user not Admin');
            }
        });
    },
    error: function(error) {
        console.log("Bruh, can't find the Admin role");
    }
}).then(function() {
    console.log('After test: Auth = ' + authorized);
});

, :

var adminRoleQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.Role);
adminRoleQuery.equalTo('name', 'admin');
adminRoleQuery.equalTo('users', req.user);

return adminRoleQuery.first().then(function(adminRole) {
  if (!adminRole) {
    throw new Error('Not an admin');
  }
});
