Could try this too
$roleNeeded = 'Staff'$currentUserId = $currentUserId = \Drupal::currentUser()->id(); \\ or use Drupal\Core\Session\AccountProxyInterface; if using DI$loadUser = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('user')->load($currentUserId);$loadUser->set('roles',$roleNeeded );$loadUser->save();An easier way to get all the roles
