Filter a view based on current user’s roles

I’m using a view to populate an Entity reference field on a profile. (So it’s a view of “Entity Reference” display type.)

I want to filter this view to show (and allow users to select) only:

  1. Published content (OK)
  2. Content of a certain type (OK)
  3. Only a subset of nodes available to the current user (OK)
  4. If the current user is admin or some other role, bypass the previous filter (3) and show all nodes (but still respect filters 1 and 2) (not OK)

Filters 1 and 2 are always mandatory; then either filter 3 or 4 must also be mandatory. I’ve tried to rearrange filters into filter groups to make this work, but I cannot find a way to build filter 4.

For filter 4, I need to filter based on the role of the current user (NOT author), and I cannot find how to do that.

I’m looking for a Relationship to bring in the current user data (something like “User: current”), and then filter on that data, but where can I find that?
