Using RoleLocalServiceUtil.hasUserRoles() or hasUserRole() with a community/organization role now causes an exception. These two methods should only be used with regular roles. To check if a user has a community/organization role, use UserGroupRoleLocalServiceUtil.hasUserGroupRoles() or hasUserGroupRole().
