Need to add multiple roles to routing.yml file

Question

I want to assign multiple roles in my routing.yml file :

requirements: _role: "['role1', 'role2', 'role3']"

This is what I currently have, and it doesn't work.

Can someone tell me how to add this?

Thanks in advance!

I would strongly advise using permissions, not roles. Permissions are super simple to create in D8+, see How do you create a custom permission to administer a custom module?

The Structure of routes documentation says:

_role: A specific Drupal role, for example 'administrator'. You can specify multiple ones via "," for AND and "+" for OR logic.

For example, _role: organizer,participant,controller means a Drupal user needs to have all three roles to access the page. Note that, since the roles available may differ between sites, it's recommended to use permission-based access restriction when possible.

So if a user needs all three roles, it's:

_role: 'role1,role2,role3'

or if they just need one of the three roles, it's:

_role: 'role1+role2+role3'
