Currently the list component just shows all items (links) but I'm trying to find a way to hide a certain links, based on the logged in user role.

It seems that [Plugin:Equals] and [Plugin:NotEquals] tags allow us to conditionally show/hide the links, so I think this is probably the approach can try. But when it comes to getting the user access role/group info, I feel a bit stuck.

For now, I am only able to find the following fields that are available for use:

  • ${wp.user.cn}
  • ${wp.user.sn}
  • ${wp.user.uid}
  • ${wp.user.preferredLanguage}

And the online document doesn't say much either. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYJ99_8.5.0/dev-theme/themeopt_el_bean_user.html

So is it possible to get the assigned user access group via wp.user? Or perhaps there are other ways to show/hide the links in the list component?

Not via wp.user you would need to use the access control model, but would be better using the attribute based security

WCM Security will hide any links the current user doesn't have access to - be it a Site Area, Content Item / Link. Check your security on the objects which shouldn't be showing. You'll most likely find you haven't restricted access.
