login: function(email, password, callback) {  
//alert(“In login function”);  
$.ajax({  
dataType: ‘json’,  
contentType: ‘application/json; charset=utf-8’,  
url: INSTANCE\_URL + ‘/api/v2/user/session’,  
data: JSON.stringify({  
“email”: email,  
“password”: password  
}),  
cache:false,  
method:‘POST’,  
success:function (response) {  
callback(response);  
},  
error:function (response) {  
callback(response);  
return false;  
}  
});  
},

On the api-docs feature the response properly loads the response.role and response.role\_id properly but when I try to access the response.role and response.role\_id in a seperate .js file both fields seem to be undefined.
