roles

What is the code for determining if a user is in a role? I have set up all the users through the ASP.NET Configuration Security tab but now want to put logic around some key areas so only people in certain roles can see and access these areas. if (User.IsInRole("rolename")) { // my action } Easy~ HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole("roleName") Matthew Jones Check out the Roles class, specifically IsUserInRole, GetUsersInRole, AddUserToRole, etc. I use these all the time. thanks to "Chris Van Opstal". i solved my problem like this way, public ActionResult Index() { if (User.IsInRole("Supervisor")

I am looking for a neat way to get the Wordpress role display name. When you add the role (e.g. add_role( 'special', 'A Special Role'); ), you get to set a display name. When you get the role (e.g. get_role( 'special' ); ) the role object returned simply has the name and the capabilities object. WP_Role Object( [name] => special [capabilities] => Array() ) And no display name. The display name is used all over the WP Admin back-end (users.php and user-edit.php), but it's a rabbit warren ... and I haven't been able to find a function that will return it. You can readily see it in the wp_user

Suppose a high-speed developer was tasked with building a banking application which would be accessed by many different people. Each person would want to access his or her own account information but would not want others to access it. I would like to know the best practice for restricting access in an MVC application so that only the user who owns the information (or an administrator) could access it. The Authorize attribute allows us to restrict by role. While this is a starting point, it seems that any authenticated user could gain access to any other user's information. ActionFilters seem

First off, I'm not using FOSUserBundle and I can't because I'm porting a legacy system which has its own Model layer (no Doctrine/Mongo/whatsoever here) and other very custom behavior. I'm trying to connect my legacy role system with Symfony's so I can use native symfony security in controllers and views. My first attempt was to load and return all of the user's roles in the getRoles() method from the Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface . At first, it looked like that worked. But after taking a deeper look, I noticed that these roles are only refreshed when the user logs in.

I am building a simple CMS in which roles are set dynamically in the admin panel. The existing way of authorizing a controller method, adding [Authorize(Roles="admin")] for example, is therefore no longer sufficient. The role-action relationship must be stored in the database, so that end users can easily give/take permissions to/from others in the admin panel. How can I implement this? If you want to take control of the authorization process, you should subclass AuthorizeAttribute and override the AuthorizeCore method. Then simply decorate your controllers with your CmsAuthorizeAttribute

In this exaple project with JWT authentication we se how to allow only authenticated users to some route: import { RouterConfig } from '@angular/router'; import { Home } from './home'; import { Login } from './login'; import { Signup } from './signup'; import { AuthGuard } from './common/auth.guard'; export const routes: RouterConfig = [ { path: '', component: Login }, { path: 'login', component: Login }, { path: 'signup', component: Signup }, { path: 'home', component: Home, canActivate: [AuthGuard] }, { path: '**', component: Login }, ]; I would like make step further and also indicate what

Can anyone tell me, what's the real difference between group and role? I've been trying to figure this out for some time now and the more information I read, the more I get the sense that this is brought up just to confuse people and there is no real difference. Both can do the other's job. I've always used a group to manage users and their access rights. Recently, I've come across an administration software, where is a bunch of users. Each user can have assigned a module (whole system is split into a few parts called modules ie. Administration module, Survey module, Orders module, Customer

The idea is to set different values of Session Timeout for different User Roles in ASP.NET MVC 5 and ASP.NET Identity. Is it possible to do? Based on their role you could set the timeout, i.e. HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout = 20; Going by your previous question you want to do this dynamically. You could store and update the times themselves in session and set for each role on OnActionExecuting of a base controller. if (User.IsInRole("Admin")) { filterContext.HttpContext.Session.Timeout = (int)filterContext.HttpContext.Session["AdminTimeoutThatYouSetSomewhereElseGlobally"]; } If you are
