For fetching the groups of the current user you can use:

{def $user=fetch( 'user', 'current_user' )}
 
{foreach $user.groups as $key => $group}
{def $group=fetch( 'content', 'object', hash( 'object_id', $user.groups[$key] ) )}
  User is Member of: {$group.name} <br/>
{/foreach}

I don't understand why I can't create a role for activate and setting. Only 5 functions can be selected. Including selfedit. selfedit is a function without view? How to create a role which is able to active accounts without being able to edit them?
