Of course. I did a stupid thing - got a user by getMemberById
function, and then tried to use the object to set a local role,
instead of the object's id. The misleading thing was that when I tried
to print out the 'userid' to a log, it gave the id, with no
information that it is an object. Your comment help me figure it out -
thanks.
