yurikleban - Sure, try this.

 

<#attempt>
	<#assign user_has_role = false />
	<#if user.registered >
		<#list restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/roles").roles.role as role>
			<#if role.name?? && (role.name == "Role1" || role.name == "Role2" || role.name == "Role3")>
				<#assign user_has_role = true />
			</#if>
		</#list>
	</#if>
	<#if user_has_role >
		Content will go here
	</#if>
<#recover>	
	<!-- Something bad happened -->
</#attempt>

You can also use REST v2 for that:

 

<#function user_has_role (id, roles)>
  <#assign liql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE roles.name IN (${roles}) and id = '${id}'" />
  <#assign query = rest("2.0","/search?q=" + liql?url) />
  <#if (query.status == "success") && query.data.size gt 0>
  	<#return true>
  <#else>
    <#return false>
  </#if>
</#function>

and call it like this:

<#if user.registered && user_has_role(user.id,"'Administrator', 'Lithium'")>
...
</#if>
