How AUTHORIZATION is being done in wordpress

  • Hi, can anyone please tell me how AUTHORIZATION is being done. I understood that from the USER_COOKIE, the username is retrieved and the corresponding user id and user details are also retrieved. After that the value of ‘wp_user_roles’ is being retrieved which has all the user roles’ names and their capabilities. But how is that being linked to the current user. It would be of great help to me if someone helps me out with this.
