How To Display A Gridview Column Only To Users In A Certain Role
Dec 2, 2010
I have an asp.net page with a gridview. I would like to make it so that certain columns in the gridview are displayed only if the user is in a certain role, that is, if HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole(XXX) returns true.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I would prefer a solution where I can easily put this in my ASP code and not in the page code-behind.
I want to display gridview column heading when mouse over to the particular column in the gridview.I am working in VisualStudio 2005 with MS.Net2.0 framework.I don't want to use ajax.
I just realized after i created a test account i was not in any roles. Is there a way to automically add new users into the role Users? Have i missed this some where?
I have an application that uses Forms Authentication and Role Management. I have a few users with more than one role associated to the user. Based on certain roles, the navigation menu displays certain menu options.
Right now, if the user has more than one role, the menu shows the items that are in both roles instead of the items that are in the particular role that the user is logged into or currently set to.
I'm creating an Authentication Ticket to log the user in and I'm passing the active user role as follows:
authenticationTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, UserName, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(20), False, UserRole)
Is there anyway to set the user to one particular role and have the application see the user in this single role instead of reading all the roles that the user is in?
I'm trying to bind a selected user's role to a dropdown-list. The purpose of this is to be able to change said user's role.
I'm attempting this inside a formview hooked up to a linqdatasource which contains a row from the aspnet_User table.
The dropdown list is hooked up to a linqdatasource of all the roles in the aspnet_Roles table (with DataValueField="RoleID", DataTextField="RoleName").
I figured it would be possible with something like:
I have been searching all over for this and trying many different things but so far have had no luck. I need to display the profile information for [all] users in the system within a GridView. For instance, I want to show their Username, First Name, Last Name,Email, etc.I've tried the Profilemanager.GetAllProfiles() method but t doesn't seem to have the fields in it.
I have a simple custom membership provider. And i have a roles table also in my database with 2 roles in, User and admin. I dont think i need to implement the roleprovider as this will be overkill for what i need.
How can i modify the validate user method to route users to one URL and admin to another?
Can i put in a If statement to say If role = admin go here after a user has been validated?
I would like to populate a dropdownlist with all users who are in the Sales role. I am using the .Net Membership and Roles tables in my SQL 2005 DB (aspnet_Users, aspnet_Roles...).
Using ASP.NET (C#) I have set up Authorization Manager to allow me to handle roles on a website. Added users to roles is simple Roles.AddUserToRole("DOMAIN\UserName", "role"). However I want to list the users belonging to a role, but since they are stored as SID's, displaying them would not be that helpful. To get the users, I am thinking XML would have to be used, although is it possible to use COM Interop to both do that and get the user name? Either way, how can I get the users belonging to a role?
The table to manage roles would basically be like this:
Role User ---- ---- admin DOMAINUserName [delete] DOMAINUserName2 [delete] [add user text box] news DOMAINUserName3 [delete] [add user text box]
I've been reading about asp web administration tool. I read about creating roles and stuff and forcing a controller to use authentication in order to be viewed. My question is, say create on the administration tool a user called Peter and I assign him the Administrator role. Then I want to create another role called LimitedAdministrator. But I want Peter to create new users on his View (I'm using MVC). Can anyone point me in the direction of how to do this.
I want peter to see on his page, like "Create user" and this user will be created as a LimitedAdministrator.
I'm comfortable sending emails to individuals in ASP.NET, but recently have needed to create a function to send an email to all users in a particular role.
A couple of problems I'm having are:
My shared hosting allows 200 emails per hour. Although not an issue at the moment it could be very soon, so how can I 'throttle' my application to not send out more emails then I'm allowed to?
If want to loop through the emails and send the messages in the background of my app. Rather than have a situation where logging off or closing the browser stops the process. point me in the direction of some articles about this type of thing, my searching so far hasn't given me great results.
I am trying to populate a gridview control to display the current registered users on the site.
I query various tables from the ASPDOTNET.mdb database in order have a list comprising of UserNames, Email address, LastLoggedOn, etc. This bit is fine and it displays all the details.
The part I'm having a problem with, is I would like to add the FirstName and LastName to each row also. But I'm not sure how to get at the record. In the profile table I have a column with this detail within plus other personal details but I only need to retrieve the names and display that in the gridview.
I need to populate a dropdown list with users who match certain role criteria. For example, if I have the following roles: Manager, Employee, Supervisor I would like to populate the list with only the Manager and Employee roles. Some individuals have multiple roles and they should be excluded if they also have the Supervisor role as illustrated below:
Name: A , Role(s): Manager, Employee, Supervisor
Name: B, Role(s): Employee
Name: C, Role(s): Manager, Employee
The final list should only contain names B & C.
I can use Roles.GetUsersInRole("Employee") but I am not sure if this is efficient or not.
