I have tried this, still no luck:

String currentSiteId = toolManager.getCurrentPlacement().getContext();
String effectiveRole=securityService.getUserEffectiveRole(currentSiteId);

effectiveRole is still null.

I even tried:

 String currentSiteId = toolManager.getCurrentPlacement().getContext();
 Site site = siteService.getSite(currentSiteId);
 String idToUse=site.getId();

String effectiveRole=securityService.getUserEffectiveRole(idToUse);

Still null.

And this:

AuthzGroup ag = authzGroupService.getAuthzGroup(currentSiteId);
String effectiveRole=securityService.getUserEffectiveRole(ag,getId());

Null.

Am sure am missing something somewhere.
