get current user's role

Question

Is there any way to get the explicit role that a user belongs to in my controller? This assumes using ASP.NET Membership and Role Providers. \"IsInRole\" doesn\'t work - I n

Answer 1

You can get a list of Roles from the GetRoles method. (From the link)

  string[] rolesArray;

  public void Page_Load()
  {
       RolePrincipal r = (RolePrincipal)User;
       rolesArray = r.GetRoles();
       ...//extra code
  }
