Ultimately this appears to be an ordering issue with the guards and it doesn't look like it can be easily resolved (without the framework allowing some control over the ordering).

My hope was to register the RolesGuard globally but that causes it to be registered first and fire first.

@UseGuards(AuthGuard('jwt'), RolesGuard)
@Roles('admin')

If I register it at the endpoint level and put it after the AuthGuard then it fires second and I get the user context I am expecting within the guard itself. It isn't perfect but it works.

Answer 2

register RoleGuard at the endpoint level and put it after the AuthGuard then it fires second and I get the user context I am expecting within the guard itself. don't register RoleGuard at module causes it'll be registered first and fire first.

*.module.ts

imports: [],
  providers: [{provide: APP_GUARD, useClass: RolesGuard} ,],  // remove guard
  controllers: [],
  exports: [],
